The world’s ugliest “sad-faced fish”.

A species of fish famous for its sad, sullen face has been voted the ugliest creature on the planet.

Sad face of teardrop fish.

The waterdrop fish (scientific name is Psychrolutes marcidus) has surpassed many other candidates to come first in the poll of animals with “unpleasant” appearance, organized by the Ugly Animal Preservation Organization. Society – UAPS) organization. Teardrop fish received nearly 10,000 votes, far ahead of other competitors.

Droplet fish live in deep waters off the coast of Australia and Tasmania. This fish is often called the “sad-faced fish” because of its sad-looking face.

Although they live in deep water, waterdrop fish are still threatened with extinction because they often fall into fishermen’s nets along with crabs and lobsters.

The opponents of the teardrop fish in the poll include long-nosed monkeys, frogs living underwater at Lake Titicaca, bulging-eyed goldfish…
