Hi
,
The strange creature from the riddle last week is this one - the blobfish! They live in specific parts of the world deep down in the ocean, and apparently, due to the extreme pressure there, look quite different than here. The only way we know of their existence is that they are sometimes hauled up in fishing nets. But before they can be thrown back, they die! Scientists who have studied them say that they appear to more
jellyfish-like than fish-like. Either way, it's easy to see why they were voted the ugliest creature!
But, they're not alone. In the world of "ugly", consider these. The first is the naked mole rat, then the proboscis monkey, and the aye-aye. Other contenders were the warthog, maribou stork, lapet-faced vulture, among others. All of them are "interesting" in their own way, and all show a specific design - even if they're "gross"-looking!
