True Facts About The Angler Fish

Lol. It's Zefrank doing his usual documentary - true facts with a twist of humour! Listen to him narrate about the angler fish. It's an old vid from 2012 that is going viral once again, with almost 15M views!...

The anglerfish: The original approach to deep-sea fishing

Oh wow! Some rare footage of the anglerfish! "Fewer than half a dozen have ever been captured on film or video by deep diving research vehicles." We are fortunate to be able to witness this one, called "Melanocetus", as seen in this vid by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). 
See second vid below, also by MBARI, about a different type of anglerfish observed by ROV Doc Ricketts for the first time...
