Deep Sea Angler Fish

Anglerfish are unique creatures that can swallow prey up to twice their size. They are named for the glowing rods on their bodies, which they use to lure prey. Only female anglerfish have these lures. Male anglerfish are smaller and their main role is to find a female by detecting her chemical signals. Once a male finds a female, he attaches to her and fuses with her body, living off her blood. Females can carry multiple males, ensuring a constant supply of sperm, which is crucial for reproduction in the dark ocean depths.
