They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That said, the world is full of ugly animals. If you had to guess which one is the ugliest, you might guess that some member of the pig family would win the title. If that’s the case, you would be wrong. Pigs don’t even make the list of the ugliest animals in the world. So, here are a few of the animals that did make the list.

| The California condor is a vulture and the largest land bird in North America. They have a wingspan of up to 9 feet and can weigh up to 20 pounds. California condors can soar as high as 15,000 feet and nest in caves high off cliff faces. |
 |
| The naked mole rat is hairless, with pink, baggy skin, poor eyesight, and giant sharp teeth that can move independently of one another like chopsticks. It’s truly one of the world’s ugliest animals. |
 |
The blobfish is truly an ugly animal, with gray, gelatinous skin and an elongated nose that droops over its giant, frowning mouth. The funny thing about the blobfish is that, in its natural habitat — 2,000 to 3,900 feet under the Pacific Ocean — it’s not actually one of the ugliest animals.

The aye-aye is the world’s largest nocturnal prime and a threatened species. These nocturnal fur balls with unsettling orange eyes, perpetually growing teeth and long spindly middle fingers seriously freak people out.
|
 |
| The proboscis monkey is one of the weirdest-looking animals in the world. Much like the blobfish, it has a pendulous nose that hangs over its mouth. They are surprisingly great swimmers and are known to jump out of trees and belly flop into the water. |
 |
The hammer-headed fruit bat is the largest bat in mainland Africa. They have a gigantic nose and lips that make them look like they have the face of a camel.
