If you thought you didn’t have a spirit animal, you might want to reconsider. Meet the chaunax pictus, also known as the pink frogmouth.

This derpy fish looks like Grumpy Cat’s marine cousin and even has four little “legs” that it uses to walk the ocean floor.

It was caught on video by the NOAA’s Okeanos Explorer program off the coast of Puerto Rico while investigating the Mona Canyon.
