Meet The Ugliest Animal In The World

Meet The Ugliest Animal In The World. The Blobfish! Yes, it’s their real name, it’s not a nickname. The very first blobfish ever found was nicknamed ‘Mr. Blobby’ by scientists and crew after being trawled during the NORFANZ expedition, on the Norfolk Ridge, north-west of New Zealand. The scary-looking, yet perfectly harmless, fish Blobfish is a deep-sea fish which inhabits waters just above the sea bed at depths of 2,000 to 3,900 feet, off the coasts of mainland Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania. They have been described as the ugliest fish in the world, however, this popular impression is due to decompression damage to their jelly-like bodies, when out of their natural high-pressure environment. #blobfish #animals #virallist
