Blobfish / Psychrolutes microporos

Little is known about the behavior of the blobfish, as it lives in the abyssalpelagic zone which makes it difficult for researchers to study them. However, it is believed to be an ambush predator that consumes everything that comes its way. And as most deep-sea fish, they lead a lethargic life, moving slowly and only when necessary. They’re neutrally buoyant, neither rising nor sinking; the blobfish spend their time floating motionlessly as they wait for prey. And yet, it somehow managed to become an internet star.
