## Caption

Oceans | Behold the Anglerfish. Named after the way it hunts, this predator lures in prey with a long, fleshy growth on its head. These spooky fish are known for their extreme sexual dimorphism, males are significantly smaller than females. Anglerfish males literally need to reproduce to live. Since they have underdeveloped organs, these males need to attach to the females to live off them like parasites.
