*shivers down my spine* well let the scientists decide how real it is :D i am still curious about it, it looks so ugly i can’t stop looking at it XD. The blobfish looks like a normal fish under water, only becoming a blob when it transitions from the pressure at depth to the surface. (poor fish and bad human who did this *irony* and a joke even if it was a bad one ^^). i mean it even reminds of a human face with a potatoe nose and a bigmouth. Then you understand my first thought it looks fake. the picture i saw was this one i will paste the picture’s adress

it looks weird.īut it can also be a real as i said in the first place :P. maybe just pure unluck or the fish is a fake. Like if some child have been playing with playdoo that is pink and made a face with eyes and a big potatoe nose. This may truly be a fish if i look at the fish taken when it is in the water but when it gets up it looks like it is a fake fish. Its not known whether this behavior is strategic of whether it is just a result of their ‘lazy’ nature. The Blob fish nesting habits are interesting as its not uncommon to find groups of Blob fish nesting together with one females eggs sometimes right next to another females. The female Blob fish lays thousands of eggs at once and unlike a lot of fish the Blob fish will actually stay with her eggs, floating above as usual of in some cases literally sitting on the eggs. The Blob fish will literally float in place waiting for a meal to come by with little or no effort exerted in hunting prey, this leads to in-frequent meals which works fine for the Blob fish as sustenance isn’t needed in a large level as the Blob fish devotes almost of its time to floating stationary, its because of this behavior that the Blob fish has been branded ‘lazy’. Scientific research has explained that the main diet of the Blob fish is that of sea urchins and mollusks. So, pulled from its home in the ocean depths, the blobfish was a winner - the ugliest animal on Earth.Blob fish out of water Blob fish out of waterĪs the Blob fish is comprised of a gelatinous substance they actually have no muscles at all and they just float in the same spot most of the time waiting for their next meal. Pictures of such blobfish were judged in the contest, which was held to raise awareness of some of nature’s less-cuddly creatures. Bob the Blobfish lives in a Japanese aquarium.

The lower pressure makes their bodies look puffy, swollen, and - well, blobby. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration described the fish as a 'big, blobby tadpole, just a mass of pale, jelly-like flesh with puffy, loose skin, a big nose and beady, staring eyes.' It was named the world's ugliest animal in 2013 by the Ugly Animal Preservation Society.

But some blobfish have been caught in fishing nets and brought to the surface. Its gelatinous body and odd shape make the blobfish a bit strange looking, but not especially ugly. This loose, rubbery body allows the blobfish to withstand the great pressure of its deep abode, which can be a hundred times the pressure at the surface or greater. It has soft bones, and its flesh, which is less dense than water, is jelly-like. Instead, it floats just above the ocean floor, waiting for shellfish and other tasty tidbits to come along. The only five pictures of blobfish on the internet look exactly like the United States. The blobfish doesn’t have a swim bladder to allow it to control its depth. The 5 Blobfish On The Internet Happen To Look Just Like Ted Cruz. It has a wide, round head, and a tapered body that can reach about a foot in length.

It’s the official mascot of the Ugly Animal Preservation Society and has been for nearly a decade. In this natural habitat, it looks a bit like a cartoon character. Open Is the Blobfish the Most Ugly Fish Since 2013, the blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus) has become something of a poster boy for the world’s ugliest creatures. The blobfish is found off the coast of Australia and the island of Tasmania, at depths of about 2,000 to 4,000 feet. That’s a bit misleading, though: No one is going to look their best if they’ve just been hauled up from far below the ocean waves. In fact, a few years ago it won an ugly contest - it was declared the ugliest animal on the planet. Its name alone tells you that the blobfish isn’t going to win any beauty contests.
