World's Weirdest Animal Faces

Season 1
World's Weirdest Animal Faces celebrates the unsung and freaky members of the animal kingdom, and explores the amazing purpose behind their grotesque forms. Anatomy doesn't have to be attractive to be well-adapted, and when we look at life through the lens of evolution it's clear the weirdest of traits are almost always wonderful. In nature, there's perhaps nothing so useful as being ugly.

    You don't have to be physically attractive to be well-adapted, as proven by the animals in episode one of World's Weirdest Animal Faces. Evolution has bestowed upon them physical traits we find quite ugly, but the weirdest of traits in nature are almost always functional, allowing the creature to thrive in their environment. Their survival depends on their ugliness.

    They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and let's hope that's true for these not-so-cute-or-cuddly babies of the animal kingdom. Reproduction and the passing on of genetic information is what sparks the miracle of life. But as this episode goes to show, life isn't always pretty. Luckily for some, love is blind.
