When you look at the picture above, you probably think that the "creature" is from a horror movie or something. But the fish is real. It can only survive in the deepest depths of the sea, and is very rarely seen by humans. It is just lighter than water, which allows it to float above the sea floor without using any of it's energy.
Blobfish live 4000 feet deep in the ocean, which is dozens of times deeper than a human can survive. It is VERY rare that they swim at higher levels. Blobfish are facing extinction because of deepwater fishing. They survive off of crustaceans and small fish that live down at their level.
Blobfish are very lazy creatures. They are basically made of jelly, so they do not need to come equipped with muscles. They are known to just float around and wait for something edible to come by for their meals.
