The Blobfish - Psychrolutes Marcidus

Hello readers, I'm back with more facts about our animal pseudonyms. Next up, the Blobfish!
  1. The density of a blobfish’s flesh is slightly less than water’s, allowing it to float underwater without needing to use energy to swim.
  2. If it’s taken out of the water, it dries out completely.
  3. The blobfish doesn’t hunt, it waits for food particles to float by, then sucks them in.
  4. It is inedible and has no predators, but are endangered by overfishing of other deep sea creatures.
  5. It has almost no muscles in its body.
  6. THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT BLOBFISH ON THE INTERNET
  7. OR ANYWHERE ELSE???
  8. ?!??
  9. !!!
  10. !?
  11. blobfish yo

Hello, commenter.
Nice to know you're showing interest in what we're doing. The Glasswing Butterfly and the Blobfish urge you to be nice while commenting and will hunt you down and find you if you aren't. You don't want to see a near-invisible butterfly and a gloppy slimy blob outside your front door. Trust me.
