Anglerfish are generally the size of coffee mugs, about 1 foot long or less, although, some are up to a meter in length and up to 110 lbs. Females have characteristics the male does not. For one, females are larger and they lure in their prey in an especially unique way. Above the mouth, she has a long piece of dorsal spine extruding, ending in a small bulb of bioluminescent light. Anglerfish mate by the male latching his teeth into the female's backside. He slowly begins to fuse with the female. Soon the entire male is inside of the female except for the testicles. He then releases sperm into his mate.
