Numerous websites will all tell you the same thing: the blobfish is the ugliest animal in the ocean. And, yes, it could be debated, but my opinion is the only one that counts here.
So, here is some information about the ugliest animal under the sea:
The blobfish lives off the coast of Tasmania and Australia.
The body of the blobfish is made up of mostly gelatin, not muscle.
The blobfish is slightly less dense than the water around it so it floats right above the seafloor.
Since the blobfish has no muscle it just eats whatever floats near him or her.
The blobfish may or not be related to Ziggy.
