The blob fish inhabits waters off the coast of Australia and Tasmania at depths where the water pressure is dozens of times higher than sea level. It has a gelatinous body that is less dense than water, giving it a jelly-like appearance. However, if brought to the surface, the blob fish loses its shape and becomes a pile of goo due to the change in pressure. The blob fish is becoming endangered due to overfishing through bycatch and its unusual appearance and lazy nature.

The domestic dog is a member of genus Canis that forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant carnivore. The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa, with modern wolves not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated, which implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct.

Its scientific name is Psychrolutes marcidus.
Pronounced: si-kro-lutes mar-se-dues
It is well known for its jelly or goo like shape.
3. The Blob fish inhabits the coast off main land Australia and
Tasmania.
At depths of water where the pressure is several dozen times
higher than that of sea level.
4. The Blob Fish eats mostly urchins and crustaceans.
It is very lazy and patiently waits for food to float by.
5. The Blob Fish can grow up to 30cm long and can weigh up to 9
kilograms.
6. The blob fish can lay up to 2000 eggs at one time and the female
will stay with them till they hatch. The females whilst caring for
their young will nest close to a group of other blob fish. It is
unknown why.
7. The flesh of the Blob fish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a
density slightly less than that of water. Hence the jelly
appearance.
8. The Blob Fish has no muscles in its body and has a strange human
like appearance. If taken out of water it looses that appearance
and becomes a pile of goo.
9.
10. The blob fish is a strange and cool creature that not many people
are aware of but because of over fishing due to by catch it is
becoming extinct.
