This Is World's Most Ugliest Animal; Its Saggy Appearance Will Make You Wanna Puke
The blobfish is considered the world's ugliest animal. It has a pink-gray, jelly-like appearance, with large black eyes and a soft, droopy face. It is about 30 centimeters long and weighs less than 2 kilograms. Its body has pectoral fins, and it lacks a swim bladder, which is common in other fish.
In 2013, the blobfish was officially named the world’s ugliest animal. Its appearance changes drastically when removed from the water, as decompression causes its body to expand and its skin to sag, giving it an unusual, unattractive look.
Blobfish inhabit the deep waters of Australia and New Zealand, typically found at depths between 2,000 and 4,000 feet below sea level. They live in extreme pressure conditions, which contribute to their unique body structure.
The blobfish has a delicate, soft skeleton with very few muscles. Its body is designed to withstand the high pressure of deep ocean environments, making its skeleton and structure different from typical fish.
When blobfish are taken out of their deep-sea habitat, the decrease in water pressure causes their appearance to change. Outside the water, their jelly-like body sags, and their nose enlarges, contributing to their odd, ‘ugly’ appearance.
Blobfish are not dangerous and do not pose any threat. Since they live in the deep sea, they are not commonly seen by humans, and to observe them, a submarine or specialized equipment is required.
