The earth is blessed with a wide variety of animals. And because the earth is so huge, most of us never really get to see or learn about most of these animals. So it’s no surprise that some of these look scary to us. Here’s a look at some of the scariest of the lot.
Blobfish
Blobfish, which is about 12 inches in length, lives at least two to three thousand feet in the sea. And while it’s been called the ‘world’s ugliest animal,’ its droopy face almost makes you a little more sympathetic to its case.

The naked mole-rat, although it behaves neither like a mole or a rat, is a strange creature that spends almost its entire life in virtually complete darkness. They weave their way through an underground network of burrows and tunnels within their dark universe. Its skin looks smooth since it does not have hair like the other of the mice on its body. Its skin is wrinkled. They live in unison and like bees, they also have a queen, whose job is to give birth to children.

This mole has a nose that looks like a star. The weird-looking nose is actually beneficial to the animal as it keeps it alive even in places with very low oxygen. This is the reason they are able to penetrate deep inside the ground. Not only this, the mole touches things with its nose to find out whether it’s worth eating or not.

The strange-looking ‘Aaye-Aaye’ is a very sharp-minded animal. Although it also eats fruits, it is usually seen eating insects. The specialty of ‘Aaye-Aaye’ is that one of the fingers of its hand is very long and is very useful in extracting insects out of the dried trees. They knock on the tree with a finger and listen for movement with their big ears. As soon as the insect appears, it pulls it out with its big fingers.

According to the website This Fish, monkfish aren’t the prettiest fish in the North Atlantic, having an enormous spiny head, tiny eyes and fang-like teeth. Indeed, the fish is better known for its flavour than appearance. These bottom-dwelling fish range from the Grand Banks and northern Gulf of St. Lawrence south to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

In recent times a massive bat, (the size comparable to that of a ‘six-year-old human’) gave people nightmares! In the picture below, a giant bat can be seen hanging upside-down, in what looks like someone’s front yard in the Philippines. A Twitter user Alex (@AlexJoestar622), posted two pictures on his feed on 24 June. They are apparently called Golden-crowned flying foxes and are massive bats with fox-like faces and a wingspan that can extend up to about 5 1/2 feet.

A creepy-looking creature went viral on in April leaving people with enough creeps.
The video of the creature feeding on food through a pipe was posted on Twitter with the caption, ‘Anyone know what that is?’ The creature almost looks transparent with all four limbs but no eyes or nose. Just a big scary mouth in place of a face. It is eerily similar to Demogorgon, the monster from Stranger Things, and you’ll agree.
