Top 10 Ugly Animals in the World

The issue of which animal is ugly is debatable. It depends on each person but these few animals would certainly no be overlooked.

1. Chinese Crested Dog:
The Chinese Crested Dog is one of a few types of hairless dogs in the world. It looks like a toy dog and normally measures less than 33cm in height.

2. Proboscis Monkey
The proboscis monkey, or long-nosed monkey, is a reddish-brown arboreal monkey that is endemic to the Southeast Asian island of Borneo. Its protruding nose makes this endangered creature easily identifiable.

 

3. Star Nosed Mole
The Star Nosed Mole is a mall mole found in the wet and low areas of eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. It is covered in thick, blackish-brown, water-repellent fur and has large feet and a long, thick tail. It is good at swimming and digging, and uses its hairless nose -- shaped like a "star" of 22 fleshy tentacles -- to identify food by touch, such as worms, insects and crustaceans, making up for its poor eyesight. The tentacles are extremely sensitive and can even sense electricity.

 

4. Alligator Snapping Turtle
This is definitely a creature that you do not want to insult. The Alligator Snapping Turtle is the oldest still-existing reptile around and one of the largest freshwater turtles in the world. It is found primarily in the waters of the southeastern United States. This big guy is quiet most of the time, but bites when threatened. The great strength of its bite can easily break a human finger. Equipped not only with a ferocious mouth, the turtle also has three rows of spikes on its back.
 

5. Philippine Tarsier
The Philippine Tarsier can fit in the palm of your hand. It measures up to a mere 15 cm (6 inches), making it one of the smallest primates in the world. Its big eyes and friendly face make it sweet, albeit an oddly kind of cute. Its bulging eyes are even bigger than its brain. The hands and legs of this little beggar resemble human limbs and they can leap as high as 3.3 meters (10 feet). Coming into the world some 45 million years ago, the tarsier has now become an endangered species. 

 

6. Baird's Tapir
The Baird's tapir is the largest land mammal residing in Central America. It measures an average of up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) in length, not counting its stubby tail of 7-13 cm (2.8-5.1 inches), and 1.2 meters (3.9 feet) in height. It weighs in around 150-400 kg (330-880 lb). This tapir has a distinctive cream-colored making on its face and throat, as well as a dark spot on each cheek. The animal has four toes on each front foot and three toes on each back foot.




7. Blob Fish
The Blob Fish looks more like a cartoon character than a fish. This little guy has a gloomy face, so it is often referred to as the "most sorrowful fish in the world." It has very few muscles and moves very slowly, almost floating like a jelly fish. The fish usually waits on the bottom of the ocean for food passing by. It lives at depths between 600-1,200 meters (2,000-3,900 feet) off the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania, but due to the deep-sea fishing and bottom trawling, it is currently facing extinction

8. California Condor

The California Condor, a part of the vulture family, is the oldest and largest terrestrial bird in the world. It eats large amounts of carrion and is called a "scavenger of nature." Its plumage is black with patches of white on the underside of the wings and its head is largely bald, with its skin color ranging from gray to yellow and bright orange. It is also one of the world's longest-living birds, with a lifespan of 60 up to 80 years. Unfortunately, it has become one of the world's rarest bird species.

9. Little LorikeetThe Little Lorikeet is native to Australia. Its food includes nectar, pollen and fruits. The newborns look kind of ugly, although they will finally turn into beautiful, rainbow-colored birds. These babies have a lot of growing up and coloring to do until then.

10.  Naked Mole Rat

 The naked Mole Rat is native to some parts of East Africa. They spend most of their lives underground and are well adapted to this underground environment. With most of their skin exposed, they lack sweat glands and subcutaneous fat. These ugly guys use their giant, protruding teeth and jaws to dig extensive holes in the ground. The underground parts of plants serve as their food. They live in colonies like bees and have one queen who is responsible for all reproduction.
