The ugliest animals on earth. Would you like any of them as a pet?.
Scientists recently discovered a new undersea creature called the blobfish. Nature’s ugliest animal, officially known as the Psychrolutes marcidus, lives somewhere around 9,000 feet underwater, off the coasts of Australia and Tasmania.
It was first photographed a few years ago by robotic submarines, but its enjoying a recent renaissance of attention, due mainly to the fact that it’s so entertainingly horrible looking.
Star-nosed moles are easily identified by the eleven pairs of pink fleshy appendages ringing their snout which are used as a touch organ with more than 25,000 minute sensory receptors, known as Eimer’s organs, with which this hamster-sized mole feels its way around.
Elephant seals take their name from the large proboscis of the adult males (bulls) which resembles an elephant's trunk.
Naked Mole Rat has a highly unusual set of physical traits that enables it to thrive in a harsh, underground environment, including a lack of pain sensation in its skin and a very low metabolism.
The Proboscis Monkey, known as the Long-nosed Monkey
The mata mata is a freshwater turtle found in South America, primarily in the Amazon and Orinoco basins.
Exhibiting several "primitive" features, the frilled shark has often been termed a "living fossil".
The Chinese crested dog is a smaller (10–13 lbs) hairless breed of dog. Like most hairless dog breeds, the Chinese crested comes in two varieties, both with and without fur, which are born in the same litter: the Hairless and the Powderpuff.
