Anglerfish
Fish
A deep-sea fish known for the glowing lure on its head.
💡 Fun Facts
- The glowing lure is filled with bioluminescent bacteria that light up to attract prey in the pitch black.
- Their teeth are angled inward, making it impossible for prey to escape once bitten.
- In some species, the tiny male permanently attaches himself to the much larger female, eventually fusing with her body.
