Dumbo Octopod
The dumbo octopod (Grimpotheuthis sp.) is a fascinating animal! Its large ear-like fins help to propel it through deep ocean waters and hover over the ocean floor to look for food.
Watch some rare video of it swimming at 6,600 feet - http://ocean.si.edu/ocean-videos/oceanportal-dumbo-octopusmov

Much easier to raise in captivity than those pesky three-toed sloths. #FACT
No need to evolve, maximal cuteness achieved!
