Welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 ugliest animals.

The strange Mata Mata is carnivorous.

Like most other turtles for this list, we'll be looking at the most unfortunate looking creatures the animal world has to offer.

You might find some of these cute or unique.

So don't take anything personally unless perhaps you're a mutated albino cyclops, shark.

What's the ugliest animal you've ever seen?

Let us know in the comments number 20 axle until we're anticipating a bit of a resistance to this pick from Minecraft fans but hear us out there is such a thing as ugly, cute in our opinion, it's named after an Aztec god who escaped death by morphing into this amphibian shape axle atolls are in the salamander family and they are metamorphic, which means their development is delayed.

They have eyes without lids and their respiratory organs are fully displayed on the sides of their heads.

They are heavily researched as they have amazing regenerative abilities.

They can regrow limbs.

So to the reason that they're on this list, harnessing this healing ability for humans would be a breakthrough though.

Some may be considered somewhat adorable that maybe because of all those stuffed animals and cartoon, they're not that attractive.

In fact, they're kind of creepy for many in Mexico city axle atolls have come to symbolize the connection between humans and the natural world.

Number 19 giant ice a pod.

Some of these creatures truly are the stuff of nightmares.

In fact, the parasites found on dead kaiju in the film pacific rim could be mistaken for these things.

Aisa ponds are in the crustacean family and have segmented exoskeletons for 13 limbs on their thorax and 10 abdominal respiratory appendages.

There are around 10,000 species of ice a pods and they have been around for at least 300 million years.

The giant ice a pod can grow up to 14.2 inches and the largest recorded has been 20 inches long.

They have compound eyes with about 4000 facets.

They are scavengers found primarily in the lowest darkest depths of the ocean where they can't hurt you.

Or can they number 18 dong tao chicken, otherwise known as a dragon chicken.

The Dong Tao is a rare breed that was originally raised solely for royalty.

Dong Tao is a rare breed exclusive to one small village on the outskirts of hanoi.

Honestly, these chickens look like their heads are melting and they have serious gout in their legs as well as a dire need for a pedicure.

Apparently their meat is delicious.

They make lovely pets and lay find yet scarce eggs if they don't accidentally crush them with their enormous horrifying feet, a pair of Dong towers can set you back $2500.

So you'd better be certain you want this creepy poultry around.

Should you choose to invest While the chicken's popularity is mostly still contained to Vietnam interest around the world is growing.

Number 17 and Golan free tailed bat.

Sometimes it's a good thing that animals are nocturnal.

The darkness obscures their unfortunate looks.

The Angolan free tailed bat will not win any beauty contests anytime soon.

It looks like its skull is pushing out its face as though the bat knows it's not attractive and is trying to retract its face, but its body won't allow it.

They are small creatures that around 4.5 inches long and have oddly wrinkled lips.

They have been declared a least concerned species, meaning they are abundant and in no danger of endangerment.

So don't worry, there are plenty of ugly bats for everyone.

Number 16 Titicaca frog, The endangered Titicaca water frog, other than having a name that would make small Children giggle is sometimes referred to as the scrotum frog, a name that would make some adults giggle.

The nickname refers to the frogs loose skin.

The loose, baggy skin of the Titicaca water frog increases its surface area.

There was an ongoing f To reverse the decline of the species, especially after around 10,000 of them mysteriously died in 2016.

They do have cute little frog faces, but the cuteness stops there.

They have so much loose skin.

They look like they rapidly lost weight and their stomach area looks like an open autopsy.

Honestly, any living creature referred to as a scrotum can't possibly be attractive.

Number 15.

Elephant seal.

There's something about the older species.

The elephant seal has been around for between 2.5 and 5.5 million years otherwise known as the Pleistocene period.

They're colossally large, with a big bull weighing up to £5000.

They get their name from the proboscis, Kosor protruding appendage on the faces of the males that resembles a trunk.

It has many functions, but among them it produces a mating call.

It is used as a sign of dominance along with certain postures during mating season.

The only thing it dominates to the human eye is its own attractiveness.

It really looks like one of those awful raspy aliens from Star Wars or a really creepy grandpa.

Number 14.

Mata Mata turtle, some animals just always look freshly stepped on the south american.

Mata Mata, turtle has a flat, triangle shaped head, multiple facial barbells, sensory organs on its face and a horn like appendage on its snout.

Its mouth is like a mailbox, even if it doesn't look like one.

The appearance is likely a camouflage shade as its carapace resembles tree bark and its head resembles dried leaves they eat in a suction like motion involving the constriction of the pharynx and their mating ritual involves the movement of their head flaps, sexy.

They kind of look constantly guilty or up to something or like they know what you did last summer?

It's name matter matter simply means kill.

Number 13 Japanese spider crab, What do you get when you combine a spider and a crab nightmares.

Really?

This looks like a regular crab, but with impossibly long, terrifying legs.

Its carapace is a mere approximate 12 inches, whereas it's leg span can reach up to 12 ft as their legs continue to grow.

Even in adulthood, these guys can get up to over 10 ft across.

They are not too much of a force to be reckoned with, but rely on their appearance to ward off predators.

Their legs are actually not strong given their length and they are occasionally ripped off by octopuses for snacks.

It probably wouldn't be a stretch to say.

H.

G.

Wells saw one of these before he envisioned the aliens for war of the Worlds.

Number 12.

Fruit fly.

Here's one everyone has seen but perhaps not way up close.

Fruit flies are the bane of any summertime kitchens existence.

These flies cost farmers millions all around the world.

They breed a lot.

In fact, they lay up to 500 eggs at a time and prefer moisture, such as your ripened produce or drains.

If you're not careful, you're ingesting quite a bit of larvae yum aside from being the worst nuisance up close, these things are hideous.

They have large red faceted eyes and Tenny sticking out from between their eyes and a protruding mouth featuring labella, two separate vertical lips like organs, They actually share 60% of DNA with humans.

So if you know anyone who looks like a fly, it's probably their Drosophila, Milana gaster side, showing there a simpler version of us.

Number 11.

Albino cyclops, shark.

Some animals are so ugly that their existence is debated.

Many thought it was a hoax when pictures of this first surfaced.

Alas, it wasn't.

These creatures have only been found a handful of times.

It has a rare defect called cyclo pia.

In 2011, sea of cortez, fishermen brought a dusky shark up in their nets only to discover this thing in her womb.

It's a baby shark, but not an adorable singing one.

The fetus was deceased but would likely not have survived in the wild.

Scientists say it would have been unlikely to have survived and ruled out pollution for the abnormality.

It suffered from albinism and encyclopedia, meaning it bore no pigment in its skin and had only one eye over time.

A few others have been found though they are extremely rare.

It's a really awful sight like a terminally ill Mike Wazowski, number 10 proboscis monkey, a proboscis refers to the elongated nose of a mammal, such as an elephant's trunk.

If your entire species title refers to it, then it's clear that it's the most noticeable thing on your face.

The males have by far the biggest noses of any primate.

The proboscis monkey is a native to asia and is one of its largest monkey species, The males have one large protrusion as a No, which actually obscures their mouths and a big nose generates big interest from the ladies.

The females have smaller noses, albeit still larger than average their noses.

Aidan calls, which come out as a honking sound.

Not surprisingly, we could make some crude comparisons to the enlarged proboscis, but we'll take the high road on this one.

The large nose resonates the warning call number nine II.

The aye, aye, is a lemur native to Madagascar and is a nocturnal animal in the primate family.

It's also the largest of its kind.

It is unfortunately an endangered species.

Local legends casted as a demon.

It grows to a length of two ft and has a noticeably longer middle finger used for foraging in tree trunks but don't expect to be flipped off as it also has an extra digit in the form of a small thumb used for grip.

The Malagasy people consider them to be a bad omen and will kill them on sight though there for cases maybe a little cute, those claws really create a sinister image.

They look like a horror film creatures hands wrapping around a door frame and do they even blink?

The II has evolved to fill the niche occupied elsewhere by woodpeckers.

Number eight mexican burrowing toad.

These toads are named so for their behaviors they burrow underground and only emerge for a very short 1 to 3 days of breeding the males will emerge inflate their bodies and produce a mating call, much like humans in a way.

No.

When we say inflate, we mean inflate, they really look like they might explode any second and they're shaped before they inflate is really odd and feature some orange markings reminiscent of flames on toy cars.

Since they only come out to breed, we really mostly get to see them in their weird balloon forms and it really looks like they're struggling to stay together.

Number seven horseshoe bat, really the worst looking creatures are the ones for which we struggle to find their facial features.

These bats are really small with the maximum length of 4.3 inches.

Their faces are where the ugly part comes in.

Horseshoe bats have nose leaves which are protrusions on either side out of their noses, the front parts of which resemble horseshoes.

These serve a purpose in echolocation practices.

They have really small eyes that are actually heavily obstructed by those leaves.

Horseshoe bats have also been researched recently as carriers of a certain pandemic.

Thanks a lot ugly bats.

Number six wolf spider.

Some of us think all spiders are hideous, but that list would be much too long.

Wolf spiders are native to most of the world in one species or another.

Wolf spiders are one of our commonest spiders and the only life forms that need fear them a delicious garden bugs.

Their typical body sizes range from 0.4 to 1.3 inches excluding the legs.

They have eight eyes arranged in three terrifying rose and excellent vision.

Anything with rows of eyes is likely to not be so handsome.

Two of the eyes are larger, making it easier to make eye contact when telling them to get out of our houses.

Oh and the females carry their egg sacs around like little horrible backpacks.

When they hatch, they carry the baby spiders around on their backs, like little spider taxis.

Come on, kids get number five angler fish.

Have you ever seen those?

Check out these heinous, deep sea creatures images.

This is the poster boy.

There are a number of different kinds but they're really all beauty contest losers.

They typically vary between one and seven inches in length, but some have been known to reach up to 39 inches.

They have gigantic fang mouths and most of the females have an organ known as an elysium protruding from their foreheads, which serves as a sort of luminescent fishing rod in the dark depths of the ocean.

The light is a lure wielded by our champion of the weird.

It's a really good thing.

The worst looking anglerfish live way out of sight.

They really are just grotesque Number four star nosed mole as previously mentioned.

If you can't make out the facial features.

The result is not good.

These moles get their names from.

Well, it's kind of obvious, it's hairless nose is ringed by 22 elegant, fleshy tentacles.

They're creepy noses are adorned with 25,000 Immers organs which are it's only sensory organs.

They are used to move.

The moles are blind.

They inhabit moist areas in north America and each very small prey.

They are almost blind, so they navigate their world using their extraordinary knows.

They are excellent hunters and are sometimes considered to be the fastest eaters in the mammal world.

Sure, all of this is fascinating.

But look at these things, they look like their faces cartoonishly exploded and the fleshy B.

It's just stayed hanging if you ever thought your nose was too big.

Just remember, stop that.

Number three loaf.

Ius A.

K.

A monkfish.

These are in the same family as the aforementioned anglerfish, where deep sea anglerfish are scarcely seen.

Monkfish are a lot more frequently cited as they dwell in shallow waters.

However, they are also of the ugly variety.

Monkfish have enormous heads which are the most prominent part of their bodies, the width of their mouths extends all around their heads and they bury multitude of pointy sharp teeth.

Their ventral and pectoral fins are so strong that they permit monkfish to walk along the ocean floor, which definitely proves that they are really creepy.

They look like sentient old cast iron pans with sinister faces.

Number two naked mole rat, The naked mole rat looks like nature made a mistake.

They spend their entire lives in virtually complete darkness.

They are, however, a great source for research given their resistance to cancer, capacity for oxygen deprivation and lack of pain receptors.

They're quite small, the lengthiest being around four inches they have time, tiny eyes, poor vision, four sharp teeth used for digging and a nearly complete lack of hair.
