Ugly Animal Gallery
Sometimes it's fun to just go off the rails and post something completely different. Today, I bring you a gallery of under appreciated animals of North America. Some may call them ugly, but they are all an important part of their relative ecosystems.
However, there's no getting around the fact that these critters won't win a beauty contest. I did have to make some tough choices here, but I went mostly with animals that I would think of as "ugly" and not scary or frightening. If I missed any, feel free to e-mail me!
What do you think? Which is your favorite? If you'd like to know more about the science of "ugly" check out this great video, all about why we might find animals "ugly" or "gross."
