In lieu of continually seeking the vast abyss for a female, it has evolved into a permanent parasitic mate. When a young, free-swimming male angler encounters a female, he latches onto her with his sharp teeth. Over time, the male physically fuses with the female, connecting to her skin and bloodstream and losing his eyes and all his internal organs except the testes.
for a minute I thought they were talking about my ex-husband.

I've been looking for real pics of this and haven't found any. I don't think the males really exist afterwards...maybe just a little lump or something.
Fascinating stuff tho.

Haha... I learned about this in a bio class! There are a few other anglerfish habits that are really weird!
