Scientists recently believed that the ugly herbivorous reptile called "bunostegos" was discovered to have evolved from 260 million years ago, and its fossils have now proven that this creature appeared earlier than the dinosaurs. "Bunostegos" are cow-like in appearance, with bulbous growths on their heads and backs.

The reptile, called "bunostegos," has bulbous bumps of all sizes from its head to its back and is as big as a domestic cow. According to reports, this should be the ugliest animal in nature, rivaling the naked mole rat, which was previously considered the ugliest animal. However, scientists do not think so. From an evolutionary perspective, the weird appearance of "bunostegos" is quite exquisite.
