Ugly Animal Preservation Society Poll Names Blob Fish World's Ugliest Animal
Looking out for the uggos
The grumpy-looking, gelatinous blobfish has won a public vote to become the official mascot of the Ugly Animal Preservation Society.
This gives the fish the unofficial title of world's ugliest animal.
The society began as a science-themed comedy night and devised its mascot campaign to draw attention to "aesthetically challenged" threatened species.
