Top 5 Animals That Look Like They Were Designed by a Committee

Creatures where every department got its feature approved and nobody checked how it all fit together.

  1. Platypus

    Duck bill, beaver tail, venomous ankle spurs, lays eggs and glows under UV light. The committee clearly never held a final review meeting.

  2. Star-Nosed Mole

    Twenty-two pink tentacles on its face that it uses to touch things faster than you can blink, which is horrifying and genuinely impressive.

  3. Shoebill

    A five-foot bird with a clog for a face that stands perfectly still and stares at you like you owe it money.

  4. Axolotl

    It regrows whole limbs and parts of its heart, and it does all of that while wearing a permanent dopey smile.

  5. Blobfish

    It looks normal at depth and only turns into a sad melted face when you drag it up, so honestly the design flaw is us.
