The water dropfish (blobfish): an obese, lazy undersea bottom predator, belonging to the cryptic sculpin family (Psychrolutidae) of the water dropfish, is considered to be a special species in this family, more accurately known as Psychrolutes micropros, of course, for us ordinary people, know that it is called the water dropfish is is enough.

The teardrop's gelatinous appearance made it one of the great hotspots of Internet culture. With its droopy, slimy nose and easily anthropomorphized look, it was named the world's ugliest animal in a poll sponsored by the Ugly Animals Protection Society.

A deep-sea fish, the teardrop doesn't really look like this at all when it's alive, and only looks like a piece of bad cheesecake when it's brought to the surface. The teardrop fish lives in very deep areas of the ocean, at depths of between 600 and 1,200 meters. There, the pressure can be 100 times more than the atmospheric pressure you feel now. The teardrop fish is adapted to that environment by having a limp body with soft bones and almost no muscle.

When a teal is caught in a net and floats to the surface, the decompression process causes its body to expand, loosening its skin, distorting all its original external features, and producing its trademark big nose. Out of the water, its floppy body could not support its structure, so it collapsed as a whole.

While teardrops were still alive on the ocean floor, they weren't exactly beautiful, but at least they didn't look so frustrated or grotesque, just a fish. They have a slightly bulbous head with distinct black eyes and wing-like pectoral fins. They have a pinkish gray body with a tapering tail, somewhat like a tadpole. The teardrop fish is usually less than 30 centimeters long and weighs less than 2 kilograms.

Like many deep-sea fish that live at high pressures, the teardrop has no swim bladder (an air-bladder type organ that helps the fish control buoyancy). At these depths the swim bladder would explode, and the dropfish feel a bit like oil floating on water: they're full of fat and have enough buoyancy to stay afloat.

Sea fish that live in the deep ocean tend to grow slowly, take a long time to mature, and live longer. For example, the rough-eyed grouper, which lives at depths of 150 to 450 meters, can live for more than 200 years. As for the teardrop fish, humans still know little about it, but the slow lifestyle at the bottom of the sea often represents longevity.
