Blobfish

By M.K. Lim,

       Some of you may have not seen or heard about this before.  Let me introduce to you BLOBFISH. It is said as an ugly miserable fish by Ted Thornhill who writes an article in yahoo. But i think he looks perfectly fine [the fish, not the writer ==]

       Hei, beauty is at the eye of the beholder so you judge it yourself. At least now the blobfish have a vote for being a cutie from me. what do you think?
Sea-ing is believing: The extremely ugly blobfish
And this is what Thornhill wrote in his article
Extinction threat for world’s most miserable animal – the blobfish
No wonder he looks like the world’s most miserable fish… this unattractive creature, the inedible blobfish, is in danger of being wiped out.
These sad-looking creatures, which grow up to lengths of 12 inches, live at depths of 900m.
They spend most of their time gently floating around waiting for food to pass in front of them, which sounds like quite a nice life to us!
Because they live so far from the sea surface they’re not often seen by humans.
However, increasing levels of deep-sea fishing in Australia and Tasmania for crab and lobster mean that the sulky sea-dwellers are being dragged up with other catches in increasing numbers.
These gelatinous masses may not be much to look at, but the world would be a less interesting place without them, probably, so let’s hope the Australian’s don’t kill them off.
Hei, if this cute blobfish is at the edge of extinction, you sure did a good job in almost killing one in that picture [putting him away from water]. Imagine i put you in the sea water and try to take a good non-miserable looking picture.
