Blobfish - World's Ugliest Animal!

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    There's a lot
    of beautiful fish
  • 0:02 - 0:03
    in the sea, but this one
  • 0:03 - 0:04
    is the ugliest.
  • 0:04 - 0:05
    I'm Alex Farnham
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    and this is animalist breaking news.
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    The Blobfish was just named
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    the world's ugliest animal
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    by the Ugly Animal Preservation Society.
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    This endangered species
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    floats off the coast of Australia.
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    It's jelly-like flesh keeps it afloat
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    just above the ocean floor, and
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    it's not edible.
  • 0:28 - 0:29
    Simon Watt of the Ugly
  • 0:29 - 0:31
    Animal Preservation Society states,
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    "We've needed an ugly face
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    for endangered animals, for a long time."
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    The Blobfish beat out a bunch of
  • 0:38 - 0:39
    endangered animals that are very
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    ugly, and funny looking.
  • 0:41 - 0:44
    Clearly because it's face looks like this:
  • 0:46 - 0:47
    To find out how the public
  • 0:47 - 0:48
    is reacting to this news,
  • 0:48 - 0:50
    we asked a few animal lovers
  • 0:50 - 0:51
    their opinions.
  • 0:51 - 0:52
    (Alex Farnham): So, how do you feel
  • 0:52 - 0:53
    about the Blobfish being named
  • 0:53 - 0:54
    the world's ugliest animal?
  • 0:54 - 0:56
    (PERSON A): I think that's just terrible.
  • 0:57 - 0:58
    (PERSON B): That's a disgrace,
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    all creatures are beautiful
  • 1:00 - 1:01
    (Alex Farnham): I pondered the question myself:
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    if being deemed
  • 1:03 - 1:04
    the ugliest animal in the world
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    is a moment of despair,
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    or a moment of great accomplishment?
  • 1:09 - 1:10
    To answer these questions,
  • 1:10 - 1:11
    we stopped by the studio
  • 1:11 - 1:13
    with an in depth interview
  • 1:13 - 1:16
    with the Blobfish itself.
  • 1:16 - 1:18
    groaning noises from the Blobfish
  • 1:18 - 1:19
    Thank you very much.
  • 1:19 - 1:20
    Well, there you have it folks,
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    finally we're giving recognition
  • 1:22 - 1:23
    to the endangered species
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    that aren't only cute and cuddly,
  • 1:25 - 1:26
    like the panda bear,
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    but ones that make you wanna' hurl.
  • 1:28 - 1:30
    I'm Alex Farnham, reporting for
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    Animalist news.
