Close-up of the top 10 "indescribably ugly" fish species

On Earth, in addition to the "normal" animals, there are still many creatures with strange shapes. In this article, we will learn about the 10 ugliest and scariest fish species in the world this year, voted on the science news site Facts!

1. Fangtooth fish

The fangtooth fish is a small fish that lives on the seabed (depths up to 487.68m) in temperate or tropical seas. Despite its modest size, with its large head, wide mouth, and long, sharp teeth, it still looks really scary, right?

2. Blob Fish

This jelly-like fish lives at a depth of 900m below the seabed. They can grow up to... 12m in length. Currently, due to over-exploitation by humans, this fish is facing extinction.

Although it is an inedible species, because it lives in the same area as heavily exploited species such as lobsters and crabs, it is also caught in nets. Due to its thin, vulnerable skin structure, when released back into the sea, its survival rate is almost zero.

3. Megamouth Fish

This fish lives on the seafloor. It is bioluminescent with light-emitting organs located under its eyes. However, with such unsightly teeth, the Megamouth fish may need an orthodontist.

4. Lophius

The fish you see below is a male. This species has a rather strange way of nurturing its eggs: through its mouth! After mating, the female will deposit her eggs with the male, and the male will store and nurture the eggs with his mouth.

This fish was found in a cave on Hatsushima Island, Japan. Although its eyes may look a bit scary, it looks quite devoted to its "little" eggs, don't you think?

5. Parrotfish

Parrotfish are named for the shape of their mouths and jaws. They feed on invertebrates found near coral reefs. They chew on coral, eat the food, and spit out the remaining residue. From another angle, they look like miniature whales.

6. Stonefish

The stonefish lives in tropical and subtropical waters. They camouflage themselves to hide from predators or to hunt prey. But despite their scary and strange appearance, this fish is also a... delicacy in restaurants.

7. Ostraciidae

Not canned fish, but a type of fish found on the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia!

This fish is shaped like a box, as its name suggests, and its color darkens over time, becoming a grayish-blue. Oddly enough, this fish is quite cute, but it is also listed as an ugly fish by the Facts news site.

8. Mastiff Starfish

This fish is found in Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. It has a rather strange appearance, with two eyes on the top of its head, and a wide mouth like a mastiff, as its name suggests. This fish has a rather professional and scary way of hunting, by hiding under the sand to ambush its prey.

9. Stonefish

With a shape identical to a rock, stonefish have the ability to camouflage perfectly. In addition, this is an extremely poisonous species, which can be the most dangerous to humans.

10. Pufferfish

This is the second most poisonous fish in the list of the most dangerous fish in the world. Their way of defending themselves is quite interesting: first, the pufferfish fills its stomach with water, then becomes a poisonous ball with sharp spines, threatening the enemy. Quite scary, right?
