The 10 ugliest animals in the world, the ugliest animals in the world

The ugliest animal in the world: the dripfish.

Drop fish, that's a nice name. However, behind the name are four words:"It's ugly"。In terms of appearance, it is about 30 centimeters long, like a tadpole, without fish scales, and its whole body is soft and gelatinous, like plasticine.

Particular attention is paid to its large face, which collapses and has a large nose that naturally droops close to the mouth. It looks like a crying face, and it looks aggrieved and sad all the time, so it is also called "the saddest fish in the world".

The reason why the dropfish is ugly.

The gelatinous appearance of the dropfish has made it a hot spot in internet culture. Its droopy nose, slimy and easily anthropomorphic appearance has been named the world's ugliest animal in a poll conducted by the Society for the Protection of Ugly Animals. (The conservation group believes it's not just cute critters that deserve to be protected.)

However, as a deep-sea fish, the drip fish does not look like this at all when it is alive, and it only after being brought to the surface does it look like a broken cut cake.

Dropfish live in very deep areas of the ocean, between 600 and 1200 meters deep. There, the pressure can be more than 100 times the atmospheric pressure you feel right now. Dropfish adapt to that environment, its body is soft, its bones are soft, and it has almost no muscles (so they are very unpalatable!). ）。

The 12 ugliest animals in the world are as follows:

1. California vulture: This huge black vulture has a terrifying appearance. It has the largest wingspan of any bird in North America and is one of the heaviest birds.

2. Aardvarks: Although their mothers think they are cute, we certainly don't. By our standards, a baby aardvark with a wrinkled** and bare appearance would never be a lik.

3. Japanese Baby Fish: This Japanese baby fish is able to bite off your finger in an instant. According to National Geographic, the amphibian is now a near-threatened species.

4. Drop Fish: This ugly drop fish recently earned the title of the ugliest animal in the world.

5. Coconut crab: Coconut crab is the largest arthropod living on land in the world. It got its name from its ability to break coconuts using powerful pliers. They are sometimes used to protect coconut groves or as pets**.

6. Poison Worm Leopard Toad: The ugly appearance of the Poison Worm Leopard Toad makes it hide at the bottom of the sea, and it will lurk there motionless and wait for its prey to approach.

7. Giant isopods: These are important scavengers in the deep sea, and we can find them in the deep sea area from 167 meters to 2100 meters.

8. Warthog: This warthog is nowhere near as cute as the pumba in "The Lion King", and it gets its name because of the four sarcoma-like protrusions on its head.

9. Sphynx cat: The Sphynx cat is a rare species. Despite its lack of fur, it is covered in peach-like fluff.

10. Star-nosed mole: The star-nosed mole rat got its name because of its distinctive nose. Its snout is a tactile organ that is used by the star-nosed mole to identify prey.

11. Baird tapir: This animal is native to Central America and northern South America, and it is one of the three major tapir species in Latin America.

The ugliest animal in the world: the dripfish.

Dropfish, a deep-sea fish that lives near Australia, were first classified by scientists in 1926. However, it is not well known to the public because it lives in remote areas.

But the calm life of the ugly fish changed in 2003, when several warriors caught the fish during an expedition. Since 2013, the Dropfish has topped the Ugly Animal Protection Society's list of the ugliest animals in existence. Anyway, it's just going to grow in the deep sea.

Characteristics of a drip fish

Drop fish, also known as sorrowful fish or soft cryptospinous sculptock, bobo fish, their body is gelatinous, the body length can reach about the same, because they have a sad face, so they are called "the world's most sorrowful" fish.
