What's Inside A Blobfish | What's Inside? | Science Insider

The blobfish was crowned the world’s ugliest animal in 2013 — a title it still defends today. But that distinction was based on what this creature looks like on land. But drop this fellow 9,200 feet below sea level, and the water holds up all that flab like a push-up bra, making the fish a little more handsome. Same old fish, but with a little more support. So what is all that water pressure holding together?

I genuinely thought this was from What’s Inside and that they would cut a real one in half.

[Chonkium]

Fun fact: you were secretly hoping that they would actually cut it open

Imagine being taken out of your home just to be crowned the ugliest thing alive

[cheetopuff]

The sad things is that when blobfish is being taken on land, it dies. So all those funny jelly blobfish on photos are dead :(

“The predator has a highly specialized hunting strategy that’s perfect for the rocky barrens of the deep sea.”
“*It just sits* *there and waits for* *dinner to come by.*”
Same, blobfish, same.

Blobfish: *"What did i do to deserve this."*

Conclusion of someone working in electronics: The blobfish is pretty much the msp430 of fish. It may not be beautiful, or fast, or powerful, or very adaptive, but it is very good at what it was made for: surviving under rather bad conditions, needing minimal ammounts of energy to survive for a VERY long time, and reacting quickly when needed.
