While some mammals can be cute, others can be grotesquely ugly. This list is about mammals who fall in the ugly camp. From naturally deformed noses to faces fit for a horror movie, these 25 mammals that are shockingly ugly are not creatures you want to keep as pets (not to mention some of them can kill you…but that’s a different post). Get ready to be shocked!
