This list doesn't focus on Animal 'ugliness' but on their strange and unusual character. Some of these Animals have been around for centuries but may be new to you. Of course it's hard to just choose 10 out of thousands of weird Animals in the world so be sure to mention yours.



1: Frill necked lizard: This Lizard also called frilled Dragon is so named because of the large ruff of skin folded back against its neck. When it's frightened the animal opens its mouth to reveal a yellow lining and the Frill flares out. The Animal runs on all fours but can also run with just it's hind leg when it's frightened

2: Dumbo Octopus : From the ear-like fins protruding from their 'head'(actually body) resembling the head of Walt Disney's Elephant . The are one of the deepest living and rearest of the Octopoda species. They are open sea Animals.

3: Platypus : A semi aquatic Animal. The Platypus is mammal endemic to eastern Australia. It is one of the five mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to their young ones live. The appearance of this egg laying duck billed mammal baffled naturalists. It is one of the few venomous Mammals. The male has a splur on its hind leg that secretes poisons capable of causing severe pain to a full- grown man. It is featured on the reverse of the Australian 20 cent coin

What is strange about them?

4: Yeti crab: The Yeti crab was discovered in 2005 in the Pacific Ocean. This decapod 6inches long is known for the large quantity of silky blond setae covering it's thoracic and hind legs. The animal has strongly reduced eyes with no pigments and is thought to be blind

5:Leafy sea dragon: Named after the Chinese dragon mythology the Leafy sea dragon resembles a drifting sea weed as they float in sea weed filled water due to their leaf-like appendages which makes good camouflage. Sea dragons have no teeth or stomach and feed on mysidopsis shrimp. They are found in firm cold water

6: Aye-Aye : The Aye-Aye is one of the strongest primate so much it was first thought to be a rodent. The face is paler than the body while it's hands are also distinctive with long thin fingers. The Animal is Native to Madagascar' Rain forest .it is the largest Norctunal primate

7: Star - nosed mole: Named for its multifunctional and very strangely shaped nose, the star nosed mole is one of nature's most interesting creatures. Star nosed moles are known for having underdeveloped eyes and using their star-shaped noses as their main sensory organ. These noses have eleven tentacles that are believed to act similarly to the whiskers of other creatures and contain over 25 thousand sensory organs (they're named "Elmer's Organs" for the scientist who first observed them). Although it looks like they don't have much of a head, if you look close you can see the tiny little eyes that don't see very well.

8: Angler fish: Anglerfish are named for their characteristic mode of perdition, wherein a fleshy growth from the fish’s head (the esca) acts as a lure. Anglerfish also have spines protruding from their head, movable in all directions. The esca can be wiggled so as to resemble a prey animal, and thus to act as bait to lure other predators. Deep-sea anglerfish live mainly in the oceans’ aphotic zones, where the water is to deep for the sun to penetrate; therefore their perdition relies on the “lure” being bioluminescent. Since individuals are presumably locally rare and encounters doubly so, finding a mate is problematic. When scientists first started capturing ceratioid anglerfish, they noticed that all of the specimens were females. These individuals were a few inches in size and almost all of them had what appeared to be parasites attached to them. It turned out that these “parasites” were the remains of male ceratioids

9: Blobfish: Don't let the blobfish's permanent, miserable scowl fool you: it's actually a pretty harmless creature.
Endemic to the deep waters off of mainland Australia, the blobfish is comprised mainly of gelatinous flesh. Due to the low density of its flesh, the innocuous blobfish floats leisurely near the ocean floor, quietly gobbling down small crustaceans and other edible matter that floats into its mouth.
According to NOAA , that's about all it can do -- it has very little muscle, so actively hunting prey is nearly impossible.
The shocking little creature grows to be approximately a foot long. Because they live at such deep depths, there is very little information about the population of blobfish. Some experts, however, fear that the fish could be facing extinction:
according to writer Michael Hearst, the blobfish is commonly the victim of bycatch from seafloor trawlers.

10:Naked mole rat: The mole rat lacks pain sensitivity in its skin, and has very low metabolic and
respiratory rates . While formerly considered to belong to the same family as other African mole-rats, the
Bathyergidae , more recent investigation places the naked mole-rat in a separate family, Heterocephalidae.[7][8][9] The mole rat is also remarkable for its longevity and its resistance to cancer and oxygen deprivation .
