Blobfish - Tumblr Posts

A deep sea friend: the blob sculpin. These are also known as "blobfish," which won the price for world's ugliest animal a few years back. Why doesn't it look like the blobfish you've seen on the internet? With bulbous noses and frowning lips and pink flesh? Those blobfish were dead and photographed after removing them from their seabed homes (1,600 to 9,200 ft deep) in the pacific. Reeling them up causes their bodies to rapidly expand because of the pressure change, which causes them to become pink and bloated. This blob sculpin rests peacefully on the ocean floor, staring up at the light of a submarine that illuminates it. Soon, it will swim off into the dark, hunting small crustaceans.

Let’s talk about it

PSA from Blobby. Something we should talk about more ❤️
YESSS I LOVE THEM. Blobfish is literally the dead corpse of this creature after its insides have been pulled out and its outsides in.
:( very sad. blobfish suck, this thing is cool because it’s living and healthy.
Enough depressurized blobfish. I’m here to spread living blobfish propaganda.

imagine if aliens found the dead body of a human being exploded in the vacuum of space and they started making fun of the mutilated corpse calling it “splatter alien” and saying it was the ugliest alien in the whole galexy. and then made stuffed animals of it to sell to their alien kids. that’s what happened on this planet to the blob fish
