Yuck you may say.  What is that.  Well folks let me tell you.  This ugly creature is the blobfish.  He was declared world ugliest animal as you might have heard on CNN.  Now some facts about the blobfish.  The blobfish is a deep see fish of the family Psychrolutidae. It lives in the deep waters off the cost of mainland Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania.  The average Blobfish are often shorter then 30cm.  They live between 2,000 to 3,900ft below sea level.  The pressure here is multiple dozens higher than at sea level.  The blobfish's flesh is slightly less dense than water so it can float without using energy to swim.  The blobfish has a big lack of muscle but that is not a disadvantage for the blobfish eats any edible matter.  The blobfish looks very different  out of the water than it does in it because of its low density flesh.
