Sea Pig (Scotoplanes globosa)
Scotoplanes is a genus of deep-sea holothurian (Class Holothuroidea in the phylum Echinodermata-popularly known as sea cucumbers) in the family Elpidiidae (order Elasiopoda). Members of the Elpidiidae have particularly enlarged tube feet that have taken on a leg-like appearance. These legs, in conjunction with their large, plump appearance have suggested the common name "sea pig". There are other genera of Elpidiidae with a similar appearance that have also been referred to as "sea pigs".
