Friends, I think everyone should have heard the legend of "mermaid". This kind of "mermaid" in Western fairy tales, in ancient Chinese mythology, is called "fish people". Regarding whether the "mermaid" really exists, the editor will not comment, but I have heard that this "deep-sea mermaid" is generally very beautiful. However, not all fish are mermaid-like, and what we want to introduce to you today is said to be the "ugliest fish in the deep sea" - the water drop fish.

Droplet fish belong to deep-sea creatures, living in simplicity, coupled with a small number, belong to rare creatures, so it is normal that everyone has not seen it. However, some of the friends may have seen dolls in the shape of water drop fish, but this kind of doll really did not fully show the appearance of water drop fish.
Water drop fish
Droplet fish, also known as sad fish or soft cryptocessin du father fish, Bobo fish, because the corners of the mouth are always facing down, in people's eyes, this is a weeping face, known as "the world's saddest fish". In 2013, the British Ugly Animal Protection Association held an online voting campaign for the "World's Ugliest Animal", and the water drop fish successfully won the championship with its ultra-low appearance.
The face of the droplet fish is twisted, there are no swim bladders, but like fish, they breathe with gills, and their mouths are sausage-shaped with their downward facings. Adult dripfish can grow up to 30 cm long, have a tadpole-like appearance, look slimy and fluffy, have no muscles, no bones (perhaps, but thinner and more fragile than the bones of most shallow water fish), and float in the water by a body of gelatinous flesh slightly less dense than water. Therefore, the parade of water drops is not fast, and it is always a slow and leisurely appearance.
Although the droplet fish has poor predatory ability, its jaw is large because it feeds mainly by swallowing tiny creatures swimming in front of it, and only the huge jaw can enable it to catch the plankton or slag in front of it. Scientists have dissected the dripfish and found that its stomach contains many fish, sea turtles, crispy stars, hermit crabs, sea anemones and other organisms, as well as plastic bags, stones and other non-living organisms. This way of eating, along with the contents of the stomach, illustrates from the side that the droplet fish seems to be less intelligent.
Here, it should be particularly emphasized that although the drip fish is also a fish, it cannot be eaten. Not to mention that the droplet fish is a rare creature, we should protect, take its full body of flesh, are harmful to the human body gelatinous substances, absolutely not suitable for eating. Although it is inedible, the droplet fish is in the deep sea, adjacent to deep-sea edible organisms such as shrimp and crabs, so it also suffers from the disaster of pond fish and faces the threat of extinction. Therefore, the sad expression of the water drop fish seems to be excusable.
The introduction of the water drop fish is introduced here today. Friends also know what rare fish, welcome to leave a message to pay attention to, we share together, together to increase fish insight.
