It's no wonder he looks grumpy: 'Hideous' blobfish is crowned the world's ugliest animal

A living blob of jelly that dwells in the darkest depths of the ocean has been officially named the world's ugliest animal.
The blobfish, described as 'hideous' by Simon Watt from the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, is a jelly-like fish that resembles a bald, grumpy old man.
Measuring up to a foot in length, it lives between 600 and 1,200 metres below the ocean surface off the coasts of Australia and Tasmania.

Experts believe the blobfish is under serious threat, although there are no reliable estimates of its numbers.
