Jorunna parva, commonly known as the sea bunny, is a species of dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Discodorididae. The species was first described by Kikutaro Baba.[2] Its resemblance to a rabbit facilitated a surge in popularity on Twitter throughout Japan in 2015.[3]
