This is a type of squid. It was discovered on a ROV dive in the Gulf of California for the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in 2003. Helicocranchia look funny anyway, but this one takes the cake. The MBARI website calls it the Rastafarian, pig-nosed, helicopter-tailed, hippo-squid. Love it!!!
Don't believe me? Look it up...i swear it's real!
