Story time.

So one day I was on TVtropes and I wandered on to the page What Measure is A Non- Cute? Now this issue of beauty being portrayed in media as THE BEST THING is something I feel pretty strongly about. It bothers me that the only animals are the cute ones, and, by extenuation, the only humans seen are thin and beautiful (but that is an argument for another time). If anything is predatory or ugly, it is evil or just plain not there. So I'm setting out to CHANGE THINGS.

BEHOLD THE NOBLE COELACANTH! His species has survived millions of years, and is possibly related to the things that crawled out of the ocean and became US. And he is BEAUTIFUL, no matter what you say.

Now, we need a name.

Interested in the noble Coelacanth? Read the WIki page. Also, give what measure is a non-cute? a read. Maybe make your own ugly and unappreciated animal anthro. We could be buddies!

i only read one sentence and it was so sad............ but Not every animal is as cuddly as a giant panda or as extravagant as a peacock, but every animal has its role to play and every organism is important.
One of the world's rarest birds and North America's largest flying land bird, the California condor is a graceful animal when it is gliding high above the canyons and deserts of the American West Coast.

But up close, this bird isn't so photogenic. Its bald head is an adaptation for its lifestyle as a scavenger, since a feathered head would become clotted with blood while the bird feeds on large carrion. Perhaps it's unfair to judge a fish out of water, but the blobfish looks more like a ball of slime than a living creature.

Blobfish live deep in the ocean, where pressures are exceedingly high. In fact, the blobfish's gelatinous appearance is actually a brilliant adaptation — its gooey, pudding-like flesh allows it to stay buoyant at depths where gaseous bladders can't function.It must be difficult to maintain a vibrant self-image if you're a bald rodent, but it's not an issue for the naked mole rat. These animals live underground in insect-like colonies, and they have little need for good eyesight. Their hairless bodies are also an adaptation for their underground environment.

Interestingly, naked mole rats are also among the longest living of all rodents given their size (they can live for nearly 30 years), and they have a remarkable resistance to cancer.13 of the ugliest animals on the planet Photo 5 of 15

A human might run for cover with this nose, but for the proboscis monkey, the bigger the nose the better! It turns out that nothing turns on a female proboscis monkey more than a big, bulbous schnoz.

The big noses also help the monkeys to make loud, resonating warning calls.These moles might have the most bizarre noses in the animal kingdom. Their weird whiffers are defined by 22 fleshy appendages that act more like ultra-sensitive fingers than a nose.

The snouts are lined with more than 25,000 minute sensory receptors that help the mole feel its way through its underground lair.

THIS DOSE NOT BELONG TO ME I TAKE NO CLAIM OVER IT. IT BELONGS TO THIS WEBSITE http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/photos/13-of-the-ugliest-animals-on-the-planet/the-ugly-stick-of-evolution
