Deep Sea Anglerfish!

The Deep Sea Anglerfish has a very large mouth with sharp, fang-like teeth. The Anglerfish is a small fish, reaching a maximum legth of only about 12cms but it can swallow prey up to twice its entire body size. It cant swim very fast, so when another sea creature comes near it, it goes invisble. The Anglerfish has a fishing lure on top of its head and uses it to attract its prey. The male Anglerfish is much smaller than the female. When the male matures, its digestive system degenerates, making it impossible for it to feed on its own. It must find a female to attach itself to by using its teeth to bite into her skin and the two become stuck together and their blood vessels join. The male will spend the rest of its live joined to the female. The feamle can carry up to six males on her at a time. The Deep Sea Anglerfish is found throughtout the world's oceans at a depth of over 914 meters.
