Top Ten Silliest-Looking Animals
When nature decided to act silly when creating animals...
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.
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. 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 (Cystophora cristata) is a species of large seal found only in central and western North Atlantic.
A male hooded seal's got a unique feature used to ward off hostile species and attracting mates, and that feature is...an inflatable nose...
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.
The proboscis monkey or long-nosed monkey, known as the bekantan in Indonesia, is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey with an unusually large nose. It is endemic to the southeast Asian island of Borneo. Proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is a species of old world monkey endemic to the island of Borneo, Indonesia.
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.
The narwhal is a unique and elusive cetacean found in Arctic waters. It is instantly recognizable by the long, spiral tusk that extends from the upper jaw of males, which can grow to lengths of over 8 feet. This tusk is actually an elongated tooth and is used for various purposes, including communication,... read more Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) is a medium-sized species of toothed whale.
That long ice-cream-cone-like tusk makes it look kinda silly, but it's actually a dangerous weapon...
The Tetraodontidae are a family of primarily marine and estuarine fish of the order Tetraodontiformes. Pufferfish is a fish from the family Tetraodontidae.
Looks silly when it's inflated, but similar thing to the narwhal, the silly-looking feature of this fish is actually a dangerous weapon.
Pacu is a common name used to refer to several species of omnivorous South American freshwater serrasalmid fish that are related to the piranha. Pacu and piranha do not have similar teeth, the main difference being jaw alignment; piranha have pointed, razor-sharp teeth in a pronounced underbite, whereas... read more Pacu fish is a fish closely related to a piranha, belonging to the same family, Characidae.
Sweet, a piranha! Let me see those razor teeth... *looks at teeth*...what the heck...?
A South American bird species, the Andean Condor is one of the world's largest flying birds due to its wingspan, which can exceed 10 feet. It predominantly feeds on carrion and holds significant cultural and symbolic importance in various Andean cultures.
Promacoteuthis sulcus is a species of deep-sea-dwelling promacoteuthid squid.
Yet another strange human-toothed animal besides the pacu fish...

The Sphynx is a breed of cat developed through selective breeding starting in the 1960s, known for its lack of a coat, though it is not truly hairless. What happens when cats do drugs.
Scotoplanes, commonly known as the sea pig, is a genus of deep-sea holothurian echinoderm of the family Elpidiidae, order Elasipodida. This image simultaneously freaks me out and doesn't all at once.
The Canada goose is a large wild goose species with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. Native to arctic and temperate regions of North America, its migration occasionally reaches northern Europe.
Chimpanzees are primates of the genus Pan which consists of the common chimpanzee and the bonobo. They are a part of the tribe Hominini, which also includes humans, and the family Hominidae where all great apes are included. Like their closest living relatives the modern humans, chimpanzees are social... read more
