                    It's not really a pig - I'm guessing it's the size of a nudibranch, but it might be much larger.  I stumbled across it while reading up on the continuing discoveries being made of life in deep sea hydrothermal vents.  From where we find this rather interesting animal, slightly less attractive but still worth gazing at in awe - it might take a bit of an effort but go on, give it a go - as it appears to have no digestive tract and lives on carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide, rather different to all the rest of us oxygen guzzlers.  And does this 2000m underwater in one of the most inhospitable places on Earth, where sulphur vents superheat the water to 400ºc with a surrounding ambient temperature of 1ºc.  Who says there couldn't be life on other planets?

                    I have a bigger post a-comin' - I might even mention music for once - but this caught my eye, and imagination.

                    Happy New Year.  May we all dance, slowly.
