I think they are all beautiful (also, that blob fish creature looks like the cartoon character Ziggy, no?).

Star-nosed mole

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.
