Worlds Ugliest Animals

Close Encounter: A Bug’s Face

Aren’t you glad nobody puts your face under a microscope? The Dobsonfly was featured in the Oklahoma Microscopy Society’s “Ugly Bug Contest.” The picture submitted into the contest was processed using a scanning electron microscope, which magnifies the bug 10 to 500 times their original size, revealing the true features of the bug. Sometimes the truth is best left untold.

Fine Cuisine

So what if the monkfish has an extremely large tooth-filled mouth, a peculiar flattened body, and loose, slimy skin? Millions of people in Europe, Japan, and in the United States love to consume this large, ugly, bottom-dwelling fish. Just don’t look before you dine.

A Face Only a Mother Could Love

The Warthog definitely has ugly potential. These unusual pigs have a barrel-shaped body, a big, wide head ornamented with six facial warts, and huge curved canine tusks. The average height is 25-33 inches and they run 110-330 pounds.

Back from the dead…

The Almiqui was believed to be extinct for many years – until 2003, when the creature was found in the island’s eastern mountains. We celebrate it’s journey “back to life,” and intend on giving the creature proper recognition…that is, a place in our “Ugliest Animals” Hall of Fame.

If Looks Can Kill

The competition really heated up once this photo of a Matamata Turtle surfaced. Translated from Spanish, matamata means “I kill, I kill”. You surely are killing our eyes! Amongst the major standout features of this hideous creature, is the head and neck, which is large, flat and covered with numerous protuberances, warts, and ridges. It has an extremely wide mouth, and very small eyes, which is situated near its long snout. Sadly, the limbs of the Matamata Turtle are poorly developed…so is the face, the slimy body…source

Mysterious Poisonous Snake Wine From Asian Countries

Have you ever heard of snake and Scorpion wine? Shocked beyond expectations, is it so? Well here we bring one such shocking piece of news to you all. This story is from the south east Asian countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Laos Cambodia and sometimes in Japan and Korea etc. The process of preparation is as follows: a poisonous snake like cobra is put inside a glass which is filled with rice wine liquor.

And then some herbs etc are added to the bottle and then they are allowed to ferment for months. The venom of the snake gets dissolved in the wine and they are inactivated by the ethanol. So they are not dangerous for humans who consume them nicely.

Such snake wine drinks are common in these south east Asian countries and the best and famous snake wines are found in Vietnam, Laos and Thailand areas. So how was this story? You can also go ahead and enjoy the snake wine if you want.
