The Blobfish :The Ugly Pet

The World For Animals With You Again In An Other Article About Blobfish The Stragest Pets

As its name suggests, the Blobfish is actually a fish.

But why is it called a “blob” fish?

Since blob refers to anything gooey and out of shape, this description fits the

Blobfish really well. This is because this fish literally becomes a blob or a

gooey mass once it’s taken out of the water.

In fact, it is so out of shape and unrecognizable as a fish when it’s out of

the water, that it even won an award as the World’s Ugliest Animal. Can you

believe that? Well, believe it – because a lot of people really consider this

fish “ugly.”

Is this poor animal really ugly? Maybe not.

Get to know the Blobfish better and you might even fall in love with it.

You apparently love the fascinating addition of the blog fish in your home, but the Blobfish may not be too fascinating enough for you to keep. The fish is seen as one of the ugliest animals in the world, and worst still it has not bones nor teeth, thus it is completely harmless. Even though it has no teeth nor jaws, this animals still feeds on smaller animals, including crabs.

Though it seems to appear weird, this fish can endure extreme weather conditions, including extremely high pressures and low temperatures. Its unique body helps the creature adjust to different water conditions, though it looks like a scientific experiment.

What You Don't Know About Blobfish

                      A Blobfish measures about 2 ½ feet in its adult stage and weighs around 20 pounds. That’s almost the size and weight of a small child. As such, it is quite a big and heavy and huge that a little child may find it hard to carry.

                      It is a special type of fish and it only lives in deep waters – somewhere between 2,000 to 3,900 feet deep, as they really can’t be in shallow waters. 

                      The pressure in deep waters is really high – about 60 to 120 times greater than the pressure near the surface of the water. You can’t see this pressure (there is air pressure too, which is also invisible), but it can be felt when you are at the maximum limit. In fact, it’s dangerous to be exposed to highpressure places as it can cause death (which is even true even for humans)

                      Since the Blobfish lives in the deep seas where the pressure is extremely high, its body is specially made for such an environment. High pressure can crush bones, so a Blobfish is made up of soft bones.

                    Having no real bones, the Blobfish is also toothless. Since they don’t have teeth, they can’t bite and chew their food. They can’t even bite to defend themselves from their enemies in the sea.

                    Since it is pink, it is actually kind of a cute fish, making it not as ugly as it first appears to be. A pink fish can be quite beautiful.

                    Even its flesh is different from the flesh of regular types of fish. While typical types of fish have fleshy body compositions, the Blobfish species have flesh that seems like jelly.

                    Their bodies are also so lightweight that they can float above the ocean floor without exerting any effort at all. This is a really useful characteristic because the fish can save its energy by not having to exert its effort to swim. The Blobfish doesn’t even have muscles to help it move more efficiently

                    Note that there are very few sea creatures in the very deep parts of the ocean. In the case of the Blobfish, they need to exert a lot of effort (and energy) just to swim and find their food, so it’s really a good thing that their bodies are naturally light and buoyant to allow them to swim almost effortlessly underwater.

                   As for the shape of the Blobfish, well, it may look like a blob when it’s out of the water – but it actually looks like an ordinary fish in its habitat. This type of fish looks different when it’s in the water and when it’s out of the water! 

                  It actually looks like a tadpole when it’s in the water, with a big head and a round-shaped body with an elongated tail. It really does look like a fish when it’s in the water – because that’s where it should be

                  To describe it plainly, we can say that the Blobfish is a normal-looking fish when it’s in the water. It can even be quite attractive because of its pink color. Just don’t take it out of the water
