The Corgi
I’ve seen naked mole rats in the, er, flesh at the Singapore Zoo. They’re actually pretty cute in person.
For my choice, I’ll have to think about it some. Maybe leeches.
Sounds like marriage actually.
I think naked mole rats, too. Hidious things.
Holy crap. I’ve never heard of these before but that’s pretty horrific.
That is some straight up Giger shit.
My sister.
Some of the ugliest have been mentioned, so I’ll submit the Tapir.
Sure, it’s kinda unassuming at first. Perhaps even cute when a baby. But then… it smiles.
Breakin’ my heart, you are. Slugs are one of my very favorite things. The fewer bones the better, that’s what I always say!
I don’t really find any animals ugly, but apes freak me out in a kind of existential way, because they’re almost human, but not human. I once had a gorilla mother look at me through the window of a zoo exhibit… it was the most exhausted, ‘‘Can’t you just leave me alone?’’ sort of look and it was so human I’ve forever been haunted by it.
As such, I find them hard to look at.
But then they wouldn’t be crunchy!
Damn…Tubiflex worms are disqualified, ain’t they?
Marg Helgenberger (Catherine Willows from CSI) without makeup. I saw a pic about a month ago, can’t find it now. Apparently some plastic surgery went bad or something.
Since no one else has mentioned them, I’ll nominate warthogs. And their relative, babirusas, which make warthogs look like Miss America.
But the blobfish was one of my first thoughts. Angler fish are also very deserving candidates. Actually, most of the fish at that depth look like the spawn of Cthulhu.
Aw, but look at baby babirusa!
Good God! I can’t tell its head from its rectum!
That article has the dumbest sentence ever. It says that they’re not dangerous… unless they’re alive.
I think the OP nailed it with the naked mole rat. Though using ‘nailed it’ in that sentence brings up some unpleasant mental images.
They’re adorable! They look so depressed, they make me go awww in sympathy.
That little fella looks like he had a hard day at work but was sustained by thinking all day of the cake waiting for him at home, only to discover, when he got home, that someone else had eaten it and it was all gone. Awww.
Those goldfish breeds with a head growth are creepy and not cute. When I was a kid I thought their brains were showing.
More horrific? Most certainly. Those buggers are nightmare fuel that even their big boy cousins can’t match.
But uglier? Nah.
They look about the same, only tinier, so the Giant has a lot more room to pack ugly in, and you can actually SEE it without getting close enough to have your tongue devoured. >_>
But, yeah, no spines, so neither of them count.
Pity, 'cuz…hard to beat them.
Arrggghgghh!
Aggggghhhhhhhhhhh!
Dentata.
