HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER

In the dark depths of the ocean it’s difficult to find both food and mates. This anglerfish—species unknown—attracts both with a glowing lure attached to a fishing pole atop her head. To attract food, she dangles the light in front of her mouth. Scientists once believed the lures’ elaborate shapes were intended to attract different prey. Now it is believed that the shape helps males identify females of their own species. (source)
