Possibly the ugliest thing we've ever seen
It's an angler fish.
One of the ugliest animals ever, Anglerfish look really pissed off all
the time (maybe it’s because they live in the dark at the lonely bottom
of the sea). Their heads are enormous, with teeth that are sharp and
translucent.
The female sports a piece of dorsal spine that sprouts out
of their head above her mouth like a fishing pole. The tip is luminous
and attracts bait.
The male is way smaller by comparison and has no need
for the “fishing rod.” With his sharp teeth he latches onto the female
and fuses with her. He connects to her skin and bloodstream and loses
his eyes and all his internal organs except his testes. Ew, that’s a lot
to lose for love.

Gigantic plastic fish
An art installation on Botafogo Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil shows
three gigantic fishes made from discarded plastic bottles. The
sculptures were created to raise awareness for the recently completed
United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, dubbed Rio+20. The
slogan on a sign beside the installation translates to “recycle your
attitude”.

Fishy
One of a kind sculpture covered in glass beads and vintage glass jewelry
components. Parts from an antique porcelain doll face, glass prosthetic
eyes, natural turquoise, and beads made from shell are also
incorporated into this mosaic. The base is limestone and the hands are
old composite doll hands. Fishy whale has a big heart and a kind soul.
