| Description: In a world where the neigbours are some of the oddest creatures around, the blobfish takes the cake for the weirdest thing to come out of the ocean since our earliest ancestors. This deep sea fish get its name, quite obviously, from its gooey-gelatinous body, which, while certainly a hindrance with the ladies, is actually how it’s able to live out its life in the depths of the ocean and remain largely out of our reach. Where most fish use gas-bladders to regulate their depth, the blobfish lives at a depth that requires a little ingenuity, enter is silly putty like flesh. Blobfish flesh is only slightly more dense than the water it lives in, it is almost entirely without muscle tissue – I’m guessing that makes it the target of much ridicule amongst its social circle.
