[size=30pt]Blobfish Crowned World’s
Ugliest Animal, Will
Become ‘Voice For The
Mingers[/size]

The blobfish, a fish native to Australian waters,
has been voted the world's ugliest animal in a
campaign by the Ugly Animal Preservation
Society. Ugly Animal Preservation Society
Its saggy pink skin, grumpy face and jelly-like
appearance may not be easy on the eyes, but the
blobfish has won its way into someone’s heart.
The fish, which is rarely seen by humans, has
been voted the world’s ugliest animal by the Ugly
Animal Preservation Society. The society launched
an online campaign looking for a mascot, and on
Thursday the blobfish was crowned the winner.
"Our traditional approach to conservation is
egotistical," Simon Watt, president of the Ugly
Animal Preservation Society, told BBC News about
the reasons behind the campaign. "We only
protect the animals that we relate to because
they're cute, like pandas.”
Physicist turned TV presenter Brian Cox agrees.
"There are too many people trying to save cute
animals. They get all the press, and all the
attention. Ugly animals are more deserving than
cute animals, so I think it is a superb campaign."
The blobfish, which lives off the coast of Australia,
is threatened by overfishing, the Telegraph
reports. The grumpy-looking fish lives at depths of
up to 2,600 feet, where edible creatures like
crabs and lobsters live. At times, the blobfish get
caught in fishermen’s nets.
"Blobfish are very vulnerable to being dragged up
in these nets, and from what we know this fish is
only restricted to these waters,” Professor Callum
Roberts said. "A very large amount of the deep
sea is under threat from bottom trawling, which is
one of the most destructive forms of fishing."
The fish’s gelatinous body is slightly denser than
water, allowing it to bob around in the ocean. The
blobfish feed on crabs and lobsters, and are
inedible for humans.
The blobfish, or Psychrolutes marcidus, beat out
other ugly contenders including the kakapo, the
axolotl and the "scrotum," water frog to win the
top title by almost 10,000 votes.
The kakapo came in second place. Described a
“rubbish parrot,” the bird is native to New
Zealand. It’s the world’s only flightless parrot with
no natural predators, but its habitat has been
decimated, making its numbers drop to critical
levels. But the ugly bird’s dwindling numbers
weren’t enough to win the grand prize.
“For too long the cute and fluffy animals have
taken the limelight, but now the blobfish will be a
voice for the mingers who always get forgotten,”
Watt said.
