| Sometime its look so ugly but sometime it seems to be cute :) |
Next, I would like to present a
species that have won the World's Ugliest Animal contest and it is pretty rare
for normal people to see this kind of fish as they can only be found in marine
waters of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans at depths between 100 m and
2800 m. Sciencenews.org
have stated that Blobfish don’t have swim bladders but do have very soft bones.
That makes sense for an animal that lives in the crushing pressures of the deep
sea, allowing the fish to compress without cracking their bones. But up at the
surface the fish seem jellylike and basically collapse, distorting their
features. Blob fish seem to grow only to about 12 inches, about as long as a
comic book – Noaa.gov.
No one has seen them feed, but scientists think blob fish probably just open
that big mouth and let little particles drift in - this is not a critter built
to chase down its food.
