Beauty is in the eyes of Mr. Blobby’s spectators.
Blobfish, a deep -waters creature, has been described as the ugliest animal in the world due to its gelatinous and reborn body. But voters in a New Zealand contest had nothing like that, naming the Bandey fish, affectionately known as “Mr. Blobby”, the New Zealand year of the year in a competition in a competition of a non -profit environmental group.
Organized by the mountains A Sea conservation trust, the annual event seeks to educate the public of New Zealand about the wide variety of fish and the fragile state of the marine and fresh water environments in which they live.
The Blobfish, which lives mainly in waters off the southeast coast of continental Australia, the Australian island of Tasmania and New Zealand, was victorious with almost 1,300 of more than 5,500 votes in the scathing of a race of this year. He enjoyed a late increase in support against his partial inhabitant of deep waters The Orange Roughy, who had been in the lead but ended up losing for almost 300 votes.
The co -director of the Trust, Kim Jones, described the competition as “a battle of two extravagant bugs of deep water, with the unconventional beauty of the block fish that helps the voters be through the line.”
The appearance of gout fish, which has bulbous heads and loose and flaccid skin and grows approximately 12 inches long, has a lot to do with its surroundings. In its natural habitat, at the bottom of the sea at depths of approximately 2,000 to 4,000 feet, the government fish looks a lot like any other fish.
But when it is taken to the surface, where the water pressure is not high enough to maintain its shape, the government fish is transformed into soft creatures whose looks have been subject to so many insults.
Despite its high profile as the official pet of the ugly animal Animal Preservation Society, the Bandean Fish had been following the Orange Rosy, which is in danger.
His fortune changed half the last week of the race thanks to the support of two New Zealand radio presenters who encouraged their listeners to vote Blobfish.
“We and the people of New Zealand had had enough of other fish that all the headlines obtained,” said the most hosts of FM late, Sarah Gandy and Paul Flynn on Monday.
The Bandeo Fish “has been intimidated all his life and we think:” Things this, it is time for the Bandefish to have its moment in the sun, “and what a glorious moment is!” they said.
A spokesman for the Environmental Law initiative, which sponsored Orange Roughy in the race, said “had no blocks” with the result, emphasizing that “it is still a victory” for deep waters ecosystems and can help raise awareness about the environmental impact of destructive below.
