You don't have to say that in the famous science fiction movie "Men in Black", there are a variety of alien creatures, in order to create these alien creatures, it takes a lot of effort by special effects artists and prop designers. But among the many alien creatures inside, only one is a real Earth creature. This is the protagonist we are going to talk about today – the water drop fish.
How ugly are the dripfish? In 2013, the Ugly Animal Protection Society named the dripfish "the ugliest creature in the world" and used the dripfish as their association's mascot.

Well, you heard it right, there really is an ugly animal protection society, and people are a serious animal protection society. Because not all rare animals on the earth are like giant pandas, soft and cute. There are many rare animals that look quite bumpy, so the Ugly Animal Protection Society is to protect these rare animals.

Other ugly animals protected by this association, such as proboscis monkeys and naked mole rats, were weak in front of the water drop fish! The dripfish is a deep-sea fish that lives about 1200 meters underwater, where the pressure is 120 times that of the atmosphere. If humans reach such depths, they will be immediately squashed. Therefore, living in such an extreme environment is nothing more than growing strange shapes.
My Greater China foodie may ask, can the drip fish be eaten? Please, the droplet fish looks so ugly, are you still in the mood to eat? In fact, the drip fish is full of gum, has no muscle, and eats like a lump of fat. Looking disgusting, eating is even more disgusting.
Although no one eats dripfish, it is still being caught and dying extinct. Because the drip fish is so back, it is unpalatable, but its neighbors are delicious! The sea where the drip fish is located is the sea where lobsters and crabs are most concentrated, so when humans fish here, they often catch them together. As soon as the deep-sea fish reach the low pressure area, the body will swell and die. At present, scientists believe that the water drop fish is on the verge of extinction, and perhaps we will only see this strange fish in specimens in the future.

In fact, the water drop fish in the deep sea, may be quite handsome. So far, humans have not seen a living drop fish. Now the ugly water drop fish may only look like a rotten meat because its body swells when it reaches a low pressure place from the deep sea. Scientists speculate that their real appearance should be similar to that of their close relative, dufu fish, and it doesn't look so ugly!
