It is to laugh - Half baked Bony-Eared Assfish* in Alaska [View all]

*The bony-eared assfish is a cusk-eel species that lives deep within the ocean. While some attributes that condemn it to this category are quite natural, they have also made the species vulnerable. There are many dumb things about this fish species, and their name is just one of them. One would almost mistake an assfish for a tadpole, because that’s what they really look like.

The fish has no bone mass, possesses the smallest brain-to-body ratio of all vertebrates, and lives within a part of the sea where food is substantially scarce. Its lack of a brain means it has no proper thinking elements to engineer true survival traits.

They’re largely solitary, living deep down in deep tropical oceans. Staying hidden like this is the only thing that keeps this fish from getting caught in fishing nets or getting eaten by predators. Scientists still know very little about this creature, but it is obvious they’re not the smartest fish in the ocean.
