The World’s Ugliest Animal

The video introduces the blobfish, often labeled the world's ugliest animal, and explains its unique adaptations for surviving in the deep sea off the coast of Australia. The blobfish's jelly-like body allows it to withstand extreme pressure, making it buoyant and energy-efficient. Its appearance changes when brought to the surface due to the lack of pressure. Despite its reputation, the blobfish is well-suited to its environment and may not appear ugly to its underwater peers.
