My what very short tentacles she’s, umm, not wearing!
Real image or animation? Looks more like the latter to me.
What species is that – cuttlefish I’m guessing perhaps incorrectly?
Also, how do we know that’s a girl? (Curious.)

The last time I visited Vegas, I was pretty partial to “The Thunder From Down Under” myself.

@StevoR
I’m no expert (at all; I live in a freaking desert,) but as I understand it males have two longer tentacles, serving as grabbers, trappers and naughty bits.
Or I could be utterly wrong. Maybe they’re supposed to have udders or something. I dunno. Give me a rat and I can tell you what it is thinking…

Is that a real eyeball, or just a pastie?

@DLC
I don’t want that organism anywhere NEAR my pubic. (I’ve seen enough hentai to know where that is going…)
