Close Encounter: A Bug’s Face
Aren’t you glad nobody puts your face under a microscope? The Dobsonfly was featured in the Oklahoma Microscopy Society’s “Ugly Bug Contest.” The picture submitted into the contest was processed using a scanning electron microscope, which magnifies the bug 10 to 500 times their original size, revealing the true features of the bug. Sometimes the truth is best left untold.
Fine Cuisine
So what if the monkfish has an extremely large tooth-filled mouth, a peculiar flattened body, and loose, slimy skin? Millions of people in Europe, Japan, and in the United States love to consume this large, ugly, bottom-dwelling fish. Just don’t look before you dine.
A Face Only a Mother Could Love
The Warthog definitely has ugly potential. These unusual pigs have a barrel-shaped body, a big, wide head ornamented with six facial warts, and huge curved canine tusks. The average height is 25-33 inches and they run 110-330 pounds.
Back from the dead…
The Almiqui was believed to be extinct for many years - until 2003, when the creature was found in the island’s eastern mountains. We celebrate it’s journey “back to life,” and intend on giving the creature proper recognition…that is, a place in our “Ugliest Animals” Hall of Fame.
If Looks Can Kill
The competition really heated up once this photo of a Matamata Turtle surfaced. Translated from Spanish, matamata means “I kill, I kill”. You surely are killing our eyes! Amongst the major standout features of this hideous creature, is the head and neck, which is large, flat and covered with numerous protuberances, warts, and ridges. It has an extremely wide mouth, and very small eyes, which is situated near its long snout. Sadly, the limbs of the Matamata Turtle are poorly developed…so is the face, the slimy body, etc…

Actually, matamata means “it kills it kills”

Actually, matamata means “I kill, I kill” in most Spanish dialects. At least, in every latin dialect I am aware of.
actually matamata doesnt mean “I kill, I kill”
“I kill” - Yo Mato
“It kills” - mata
Perhaps it would be great if you all would make up your mind as to what it means. Or better yet, stop arguing about the minor details.
But what’s even more important is: Does this turtle really KILL?????
You all suck!

Mr Dee Structo.
just wondering, if you call your wife ugly then you must be most ugliest in the whole universe
I think God was in such a great hurry to do the finishing touches. Thanx for the research anywhere.
Matamata is “It kills, It killls.” That will be “ÉlmataÉlmata”. Matamata means “kills kills”.
OH YEAH? WELL YOU’RE UGLY TIMES INFINITY!
Grow up, people. Pay attention to the ugly critters.
Matamata definately means “kills kills”… there is no “it”
Can’t believe I’m saying this, buuuut:
Matamata is “it kills, it kills.” In Castillian Spanish, and the majority of the other types of Spanish. The pronoun isn’t needed- unless you need it for clarity, the pronoun is usually omitted.
The ugly animals aren’t too bad- I was expecting worse.
matamata generations have such a sense of humor!
MataMata Means KILL KILL

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Thery must be attractive to their own species, otherwise they wouldn’t still be around. Imagine what we must look like to them.
Actually matamata means ” lick me lick me Im delicious”
matamata means “eyes,eyes”
Joajoa, you’re wrong on both.
1. I believe its more “kill” as commanding someone to kill which would be “killkill” and not “I kill”. Since we have no pronoun or subject to state the right form of the verb we could say it’s kill, however since it’s an animal the pronoun would be it and you may say “it kills it kills” being correct.
2. Spanish is NOT a dialect. Spanish is a language.
Reference: I’m fully bilingual, speaking both spanish and english.
whats the fuckin big deal about the meaning of matamata or i don,t know motamota.you people are uglier that this animals.
Actually……”mata mata” means “ge mat,ge mat” in swedish !! ( “giv food,giv food”) :oD
