Blobfish
But why?
Now I know what you're thinking. Out of all the beautiful, majestic and stunning animals of this world.
Why a Blobfish?
The Blobfish has been a severely under appreciated animal. This is probably because of how hideous this poor little creature is.
"But Animals5 that image above is so adorable and cute, how could you possibly call it ugly?"
Let's start by cleansing your eyes. Here are some G rated Blobfish images that won't make you want to blindfold yourself.

Where Is The Blobfish?
Blobfish resides in deep water just off the coasts of Southeastern Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. Living at the dark depths of 600 to 1,200 meters, the immense water pressure is CRUSHING. To put this into perspective, it is more than 60 times more pressure than that of water at the surface!
Starting to make sense why our little Blobfish is so.... wobbly
SHOW THIS BeAuTiFuL FISH SOME LOVE
They don't think he be like he is. But he do.
As deep-sea creatures, they are adapted to survive a life of crushing pressure (just like uni students lol) and minimal light. With soft bones and its body being predominantly gelatinous, they are able to thrive in the harsh environment of the deep sea without being crushed.
It really do be like that sometimes.
If There's One Thing You Take From This:
EVERYONE NEEDS LOVE
Even Eugene the Blobfish
Just kidding, Blobfish don't actually look that awful when they're in their appropriate depth.
Although they do hold the official title in a 2013 competition held by the Ugly Animal Preservation Society for the ugliest animal.
