Unit 3 Wild life | Reading: The ugliest animals?
BLOBFISH: We love you!
The blobfish isn’t the most beautiful or common fish on the planet. It's a dull colour and you don’t usually see it because it lives 1,000 metres under the seas near Australia.
But now through magazines and the internet, the blobfish is famous because people say that it’s the ugliest animal in the world.
Every year, thousands of species of animals become extinct. We often see information about the biggest, the most interesting, the most beautiful and the most colourful, such as whales, butterflies or pandas. The weirdest or ugliest animals also need our help.
Are they really ugly? No, they’re interesting and rare. The best idea is to protect all animals.
Thanks so much for your help!
