The Ugly Animal Preservation Society needs a mascot. Here are some candidates -- from the society's own nominations and other assemblages of ill-favored creatures from around the web.
Proboscis monkey
The proboscis monkey, a big-schnozzed primate that avoids mirrors on the Southeast Asian island of Borneo.
Warthog
Found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, the warthog is like a weird assemblage of other animals' parts. Surely only its own mother could love it ... but even then.
California condor
North America's largest land bird is likely to get by on brains, rather than looks.
Komodo dragon
This living dinosaur native to the Indonesian island of Komodo and others actually drools slime. And its bite is venomous. Don't keep as a pet.
Aye aye
Despite its name, implying -- in English, anyway -- some sort of affirmation, this teeny Madagascan primate looks like something left behind in a horror movie prop department and mysteriously brought to life.
Elephant seal
Found lounging hugely on beaches worldwide, the elephant seal looks like someone big, ugly and violent you wouldn't want to encounter in a pub. Curiously enough, those three words also nicely sum up the animal's striking sexual encounter.
Monkfish
The monkfish. Hangs out in: the Atlantic. Lacks: aesthetic harm. What more to be said?
Three-toed sloth
Draping itself around Central and South America, the three-toed sloth has a face that looks as if it was put together by a negligent depressive.
With all these, which of the animal would you choose to be the World’s ugliest?
