Them: "Rick and Morty requires a lot of intelligence to understand"
Me, an intellectual:
Researchers found a frilled shark - normally found 100-1500m deep - swimming in shallow water of the coast of Portugal. Frilled sharks are cool because they've remained essentially identical for about 80 million years. They're so perfectly adapted to their environment that they haven't needed to change.

The Dumbo octopus also has an adorable genus name, Grimpoteuthis†. They're bottom-feeders, spending most of their time a few cm off the sea floor (about 3000-4000m deep) looking for snails, worms, etc.
† I genuinely don't know what the "grimpo" part refers to - it may be someone's name, or it may be related to γριπάομαι, "to be contracted", referring to how the octopus's tentacles appear to be shortened (they're actually just joined together with skin, like webbed fingers).
