When a potential meal is attracted to the light, the anglerfish can quickly snap its large mouth shut, swallowing the prey whole. This appendage is coated with bioluminescent bacteria that draw prey. A long, whip-like appendage protrudes from the top of the female of the species’ head, and her body is distinctively bulbous. It is a deep-sea fish known for its unusual appearance and hunting strategy. Next on the list of the world’s ugliest fish is the humpback angler fish. In addition, coastal development and pollution can also threaten their habitat. In some parts of the world, they are considered a delicacy and are caught for food. Unfortunately, some species of stargazers are threatened by overfishing and habitat destruction. Under its gills, the stargazer contains two poisonous spines that, if handled incorrectly, can inflict severe wounds. They are also known to shock their victim with an electric organ before devouring it.Īlthough the stargazer is typically not thought to pose a hazard to people, it may be harmful to fishermen. The stargazer may swiftly clamp its jaws shut, swallowing the prey whole, when a possible meal swims above. Stargazers are often ambush predators that wait for food to approach while hidden in the sand or mud. Despite its unique features, the stargazer is not a particularly well-known or popular fish. It is known for its unusual appearance, with its eyes located on the top of its head and a large, upward-facing mouth. *shivers down my spine* well let the scientists decide how real it is :D i am still curious about it, it looks so ugly i can’t stop looking at it XD.The stargazer is a type of fish that is found in coastal waters around the world. (poor fish and bad human who did this *irony* and a joke even if it was a bad one ^^). i mean it even reminds of a human face with a potatoe nose and a bigmouth. Then you understand my first thought it looks fake. the picture i saw was this one i will paste the picture’s adress it looks weird.īut it can also be a real as i said in the first place :P. maybe just pure unluck or the fish is a fake. Like if some child have been playing with playdoo that is pink and made a face with eyes and a big potatoe nose. This may truly be a fish if i look at the fish taken when it is in the water but when it gets up it looks like it is a fake fish. Its not known whether this behavior is strategic of whether it is just a result of their ‘lazy’ nature. The Blob fish nesting habits are interesting as its not uncommon to find groups of Blob fish nesting together with one females eggs sometimes right next to another females. The female Blob fish lays thousands of eggs at once and unlike a lot of fish the Blob fish will actually stay with her eggs, floating above as usual of in some cases literally sitting on the eggs. The Blob fish will literally float in place waiting for a meal to come by with little or no effort exerted in hunting prey, this leads to in-frequent meals which works fine for the Blob fish as sustenance isn’t needed in a large level as the Blob fish devotes almost of its time to floating stationary, its because of this behavior that the Blob fish has been branded ‘lazy’. Scientific research has explained that the main diet of the Blob fish is that of sea urchins and mollusks.
Blob fish out of water Blob fish out of waterĪs the Blob fish is comprised of a gelatinous substance they actually have no muscles at all and they just float in the same spot most of the time waiting for their next meal.
