Top Ten Weirdest Looking Animals
These creatures, although foreign looking to our eyes, obviously have a niche in natures grand design. I found so many water creatures that looked odd, I added a few land creatures in an attempt to give the list a little balance. Its a community list, so if you'd like, add any you have seen or can find online.The Top Ten
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. They only look like a blob when they're not in deep water. This is because they need a large surface area to put up with the underwater pressure which squeezes their bodies inwards. I heard that they look just like normal fish whilst their in their natural highly pressured habitats.
It's like a wet sac of that so-called "slime" my sister has with poked in eyeballs.
They look pretty normal in water actually... It just blob outside the water
It only looks like that if you take it out of the water.
Scotoplanes, commonly known as the sea pig, is a genus of deep-sea holothurian echinoderm of the family Elpidiidae, order Elasipodida. I read some stuff about this one, and initially was surprised to find it can fit in the palm of your hand. Further along, I read it is closely related to a sea cucumber, and it has no brain, like a jelly fish. It also looks quite a bit differant than this depiction moving along the deep sea/ocean floor. Interesting
I had no idea this existed. Now I wish I hadn't found out because whatever that thing is, it's gonna be in my nightmares.
Seriously, just look at one, and you know it's super weird looking.
Imagine finding one of these in your bed at night
When this fish opens its mouth, it has teeth of similar quality and shape of humans, and is arranged in the same way!

Oh! So that's where my grandpa's removable denture went.
Woah, that is one weird looking fish.
Umm... This looked kinda like a blob fish that fell victim of toxic radiation to me... Maybe it's an alien? I really don't know how this is called a frog...
It's so ugly. And it's weird, but mostly just very ugly. And it looks so slimy.
This looks like someone mixed a bloated, slimy toad with a mole.
Looks like the stomach of a morbidly obese pig.
Glaucus atlanticus is a species of small, blue sea slug, a pelagic aeolid nudibranch, a shell-less gastropod mollusk in the family Glaucidae. Also known as 'The Blue Dragon', it keeps afloat by using a gas filled sac on its stomach. It looks really weird and cool at the same time.
This beautiful animal which looks like a mythical dragon is actually a type of sea slug, believe it or not.
So beautiful! It looks like a creature that came out of a fantasy book.
This thing is weird in a good way though
The thorny dragon or thorny devil is an Australian Lizard, also known as the mountain devil, the thorny lizard, or the moloch. This lizard has a 'false head' which he shows to predators by dipping his head down.
The Venezuelan poodle moth is a possible new species of moth discovered in 2009 by Dr. Arthur Anker of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, in the Gran Sabana region of Venezuela. It really does kind of look like a dog, with huge, hairy wings and body.
I love poodles and to be honest it does look like a poodle
It kinda looks like a cute pokemon, but the wings and everything is so damn THICC.
This moth is so cute (unlike the ugly grey ones)

It looks cool
The Contenders
The Mutillidae are a family of more than 3,000 species of wasps whose wingless females resemble large, hairy ants. I just thumbed up cause its weird and super cool!

This is actually a type of wasp. But yes, quite freaky...and cool in my opinion.
A viperfish is any species of marine fish in the genus Chauliodus. Viperfish are characterized by long, needle-like teeth and hinged lower jaws. A typical viperfish grows to lengths of 30 to 60 cm. It's a deep sea creature, of course it's ugly.
This is the weirdest deep sea creature
Looks like those eels from Mario.
The naked mole-rat, also known as the sand puppy, is a burrowing rodent native to parts of East Africa. It is closely related to the blesmols and is the only species in the genus Heterocephalus of the family Heterocephalidae. They hardly even go up to surface, but they instead stay in the warm soil... This might explain why they have no fur.
I dislike naked mole rats because they're so ugly and gross.
Lmao it looks like my brother
Elephant seals are large, oceangoing earless seals in the genus Mirounga. The two species, the northern elephant seal (M. Another animal with a Squidward nose? Oh no...

The blue parrotfish is a member of the parrotfish genus Scarus. It is found on coral reefs in shallow water in the tropical and subtropical parts of the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

It is a complete, neon blue color.
It looks like a zombie!
The mantis shrimp, or stomatopod, is a type of marine crustacean of the order Stomatopoda. Most species can grow to around 10 centimetres in length, though a few species reach up to 38 cm. Did you know that the mantis shrimp has 16 color cones? Humans only have 3, and dogs have 2.

The star-nosed mole is a small mole found in wet low areas in the northern parts of North America. It is the only member of the tribe Condylurini and the genus Condylura. Ew, they look creepy

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. Squidward as a monkey. Facts
Take away the huge flat nose, then it would be so cute. :3
Humans are not exactly wild animals, but they are not domesticated either. Humans are proven to be the most intelligent species of animals on Earth. Humans' colours vary from almost pepper black to milky white. Ewww! Number 17? U gotta be kidding me!? You humans are the most evil, ugly, horrendous, hideous things I ever saw and it's a disgrace to walk out in the streets and see you daily UGH BRING ME TO THE FOREST ALREADY! Being a therian isn't easy. Whatever. Some humans are nice but the rest of them are just... Ugh! Evil! Wolves are so much better!
