Blobfish: The World's Ugliest Animal | Biology for Kids | SciShow Kids

The video introduces the blobfish, often labeled as the world's ugliest animal, and explains how its unique appearance is an adaptation to its deep-sea habitat off the coast of Australia. Living almost at the sea floor, the blobfish survives extreme pressure with its jelly-like body, which lacks muscle and bones, making it buoyant. This allows it to float above the ocean floor and consume food with minimal energy. The blobfish's appearance changes when brought to the surface due to the lack of pressure, making it look blobbier. Despite its reputation, the blobfish is well-adapted to its environment and is quite remarkable.

In what ways does the blobfish's body structure contribute to its buoyancy?

What happens to the blobfish when it is brought to the surface from its deep-sea habitat?
