Melanocetus johnsonii specimen found 2 km off the coast of Tenerife while a group of researchers were observing pelagic sharks.

Anglerfish normally live in the bathypelagic and mesopelagic zones (200-2000 meters deep),

The specimen died minutes after this video was taken and has been preserved by a museum in Spain.

I’ve never made a meme before, but everyone is raving about this angler fish so I decided to add in my input as a bioecologist 🧫

Would you risk it all like the male anglerfish?

I love the idea of giving the merspecies the same natural phenomenon of the fish they’re repping. Like yeah, give her the bioluminescence, but also the male versions should be 1/10 her size and only reproduce by biting her and fusing to her side AND (sometimes) being stuck there forever.

Nature is so metal.
