Love life of an anglerfish

Welcome to the midnight zone, an alien world that the deep-sea anglerfish calls home. These toothy sea creatures have developed unique adaptations to live in the dark ocean depths where resources are scarce. To live in pitch-black darkness, these masters of stealth use their iconic bioluminescent lures to attract prey. But that’s not all - their bizarre and intense mating ritual, where males fuse to females in a permanent union, ensures survival in a place where encounters are rare. Somehow thriving in one of the most extreme environments on Earth, the anglerfish reigns as one of nature’s most resilient creatures.
