Classification: Fish
Level of endangerment: It’s near extinction because of the deep sea trawling and extreme habitat
Habitat: Blob fish lives near the coasts of Australia and Tasmainia. They live near the bottom of the sea in the depth of 800 meters. The pressure there is about 80 times higher than above the sea.
Nourishment: Mollusks and other little cratures. It just floats just above the sea bottom and waits for a meal to come by.
Breeding: The famale lays thousands of eggs, floats above and sometimes even sits on them unlike most of the fish. It’s not even uncommon to find groups of blob fish nesting right next to each other.
Peculiar habbits: Blob fish has no muscles. It’s body is gellylike mass which has slightly smaller dension than water aroud it. That’s how it can float aroud the seabottom without using any muscles. It also has a humanlike face because of its large nose between two eyes. It looks like it’s frowning. The blob fish is said the be the most miserable looking marine animal in the world.
An interesting animal, though it kind of freaks me out with its retarded body! You have provided alot of information on it, and although informative the info is not boring at all.
