What looks like a fat, grumpy old man with a bulbous nose and too much attitude? If you thought “Grandpa,” best keep it quiet! It’s the blobfish, a slimy pink fish that has to be seen to be believed. The blobfish lives off the southern Australian coast in deep waters. It might not look great, but its blobby body allows it to withstand the high pressures of living at depths of up to 0.6 miles (1 kilometer).
