Top 10 Silliest-Looking Animals

Flying Buttocks

Also known as pigbutt worm. Flying buttocks (Chaetopterus pugaporcinus) is a species of deep-sea-dwelling worm.
That name alone sounds silly, right? Well, the animal itself looks even sillier. When I saw a picture of it, all I had to say was "Go home evolution, you're drunk" (what could be sillier than a worm looking like a pair of floating disembodied butts?)

I think another name for this is the Pig Butt Worm.

A strange looking kind of creature.

Blobfish

The blobfish is a deep-sea fish of the family Psychrolutidae. It inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania, as well as the waters of New Zealand. The blobfish has gained notoriety for its gelatinous appearance when brought to the surface due to decompression.

Blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus) is a species of deep-sea-dwelling fish.
It's basically just a pink blob with a sad clown's face (when it's out of water). Nature must be running out of ideas when creating this fish.

If I had to choose between a cat or blobfish, I'd choose a blobfish.

Hooded Seal

Hooded seal (Cystophora cristata) is a species of large seal found only in central and western North Atlantic.

Red-Lipped Batfish

Also known as the Galapagos batfish. Red-Lipped Batfish (Ogcocephalus darwini) is a species of batfish.
Self-explanatory, this fish's lips are red like it's wearing very thick lipstick. Remember, wearing makeup is perfectly fine, but if you wear too much makeup, you'll look like this fish.

When a fish looks better in lipstick than you.

Okay, dude, that's one large nose.

4 things to call this:
1. Proboscis Monkey
2. Squidward
3. Gonzo
4. A Minecraft Villager
One time we learned about these things in school when I was 7 and I said "He looks like Gonzo" and everyone laughed.

That long ice-cream-cone-like tusk makes it look kinda silly, but it's actually a dangerous weapon...

Pufferfish

Pufferfish belong to the family Tetraodontidae and are found primarily in marine and estuarine environments. They are well known for their ability to inflate their bodies as a defense mechanism when threatened. Some species contain tetrodotoxin, a potent neurotoxin that is dangerous to humans.

Looks silly when it's inflated, but similar thing to the narwhal, the silly-looking feature of this fish is actually a dangerous weapon.
