What is the animal Anglerfish known for?
Some of the most notable features of the anglerfish are:
It has a modified fin ray that acts as a lure for other fish.
The fin ray has a glowing tip that is produced by symbiotic bacteria.
The anglerfish uses this light to attract prey and mates in the dark.It has a huge mouth with sharp, translucent teeth that can swallow prey up to twice its own size.
The anglerfish can also expand its stomach and jaw to fit larger prey.It has extreme sexual dimorphism and sexual symbiosis.
The male anglerfish is much smaller than the female and has no lure.
Instead, it attaches itself to the female with its teeth and becomes a permanent parasitic mate.
The male loses its eyes and internal organs except the testes and shares the female's blood and nutrients.
A joke about the anglerfish is:
What do you call an anglerfish that can't find a mate? A lonely fish.
