The Happiest Swimmer in the Ocean

THE HAPPIEST SWIMMER IN THE OCEAN
The credit has crunched, the weather is cold, but nothing can wipe the smile from this little fellow's face.
Called a Piglet Squid, this sea creature always looks cheerful thanks to what appears to be a huge grin.
About the size of a small orange, the squid - Latin name Helicocranchia pfefferi - can commonly be found in deepwater (greater than 100m) in most of the world's oceans.
But this cute chap is more distinctive than most thanks to pigments which dot its skin - making it seem like the happiest swimmer in the ocean.
Scientists gave it the name thanks to its tuft of eight arms and two tentacles on its 'head', as well as its habit of looking porky when inflated with water.
Its body is almost totally clear revealing a dark mass that is the internal organs and barely visible, feather-like gills. It also has a large light producing organ (photophore) beneath each of its eyes.
The picture was taken by California's Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. CMA Director Mike Schaadt says: "Our photographer Gary Florin took a marvellous picture of this rarely seen yet fairly common member of the deep sea plankton community. The angle Gary took the picture at makes it look comical."

The inside of the production facility at the Rocanville potash mine owed by the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan in Rocanville. Fertilizer giant PotashCorp says a US$38.6-billion hostile takeover bid from global mining colossus BHP Billiton is so low it's tantamount to "stealing" in a terse rejection of the Anglo-Australian company's initial attempt to consummate what is potentially one of the biggest deals in Canadian history. Rocanville, Canada.
