That is your common North American Cucurbita holocanthus. What makes it rare is the carved appearance and the fact that it appears to possibly be bio-luminescent. Be real careful around this species, I've heard tell of them jumping out of their aquarium and smashing on the road when presented with a teenager (Homo ignoramus).

I'll need a clear side shot for a proper ID. At least the pectoral fin rays show up well in this photograph.

It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
