Jorunna parva, popularly known as "sea bunny", is a species of dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Discodorididae. It is found along the coasts of Korea, Japan, Palau, Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, South Africa, Seychelles, and Tanzania. The species was first described by Kikutaro Baba. The resemblance of Jorunna parva's rhinophores to a rabbit's ears and its other features facilitated a surge in popularity on Twitter throughout Japan in 2015. The rhinophores are classified as sensory organs for the act of chemoreception. The rhinophores indeed enhances detection efficiency and allows Jorunna parva to sense its surrounding environment. The receptors allow these species to locate their mates and forage for food resources as well. Sea bunnies, like many other nudibranchs, eat sponges, which contain toxins. Those toxins are used for cancer treatments. A chemical compound called "jorumycin" has been found in a related species, Jorunna funebris. This compound is a tetrahydroisoquinoline, meaning it contains the same basic chemical backbone as an antitumor drug called PM00104, or Zalypsis, which is meant to be injected intravenously. Sea bunnies are considered to be one of 16 species in the family Discodorididae. The fur is called caryophyllidia, which is composed of fleshy protuberances called papillae, as well as spicules, which are used for sensory functions.
