Having a fat day? At least fat isn't in your name...

A Census of Marine Life expedition discovered a new character for the Mr. Men and Little Miss series - "Mr. Blobby," the fathead sculpin fish, lives in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans at depths of between about 330 feet (100 meters) and 9,200 feet (2,800 meters), according to National Geographic.

Mr. Blobby is now preserved in 70% ethyl alcohol, which shrunk his nose so he "no longer retains his cute look." Check out other photos from the 10-year Sea Census here.
