10 ugliest animals on the planet

In the animal world, many species are very beautiful but there are also many species that are unexpectedly ugly.

10. The naked mole rat. This is a rodent that lives in eastern Africa. This species is not completely hairless but still has about 100 hairs on its body. They have a very sensitive sense of touch. Their skin has no feeling towards acid or chili. It seems that to compensate for its ugly appearance, naked mole rats live longer than other rats and are almost “immune” to cancer.

9. Blobfish. This fish lives in the South Pacific Ocean. They were first discovered by scientists in 1926. Because they often live in remote areas, Blobfish are not known to many people. Since 2013, the Blobfish has officially been considered one of the world’s ugliest creatures.

8. Monkfish. This fish was once mistaken for a legendary sea monster because of its wide mouth and ugly body. After removing the scary head, monkfish became a delicious dish in many parts of the world.

7. Hyena. Hyenas are one of the iconic carnivores in Africa today. They look quite ugly and always have a bad meaning, like villains in movies, but in reality in the natural environment they are animals that can completely compete with lions. .

6. Warthog. The ugly face of the African wild boar includes the typical nose of a pig but “accompanied” by protruding fangs and a mane on the back… However, this wild boar can live in extremely harsh environments.

5. Aye-Aye Monkey. This species is classified as endangered. They have big ears, large eyes that are constantly open, and long, slim fingers like a witch’s hand that help them pry tree trunks to find insects and larvae for food. 

4. Matamata leaf turtle. In Spanish the name of this animal means “Kill! Kill!”. The Matamata tortoise has a long neck lined with warts and fleshy folds, a large, flat head, and a snorkel-shaped nose that protrudes forward. However, these characteristics also make the Matamata tortoise a formidable predator.

3. Fruit flies. One of the most common animals on the planet, living on every continent except Antarctica. Seen with the naked eye, fruit flies just look like small buzzing dots. But under a microscope, one can see a large, red eye that takes up most of the face and unkempt hair. That combination can only be described in one word: ugly

2. Vultures. This is an animal with many bad qualities such as greed, cruelty and betrayal. They have sharp eyes, bald heads and wrinkled necks. 

1. Bedlington Terrier. This animal stands out with its appearance more like a lamb than a dog. This is a “terrier” breed originating from England, has short hair and can roam anywhere. Bedlington dogs are the number one killer of rodents.
