Jorunna parva is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Discodorididae. The species was first described by Kikutaro Baba.[2] The resemblance of Jorunna parva's rhinophores to bunny ears and its other features facilitated a surge in popularity on Japan's twittersphere in 2015.[3]
Distribution
This species was described from Kii Province, Japan. Jorunna parva has subsequently been reported from the Philippines, Tanzania, Papua New Guinea, Seychelles and Réunion but there are some doubts as to whether it is really a species complex.[4]
