Anglerfish use a unique method to catch their prey by employing a bioluminescent lure that extends from their heads. This lure mimics the appearance of small prey, attracting unsuspecting fish and other marine animals in the dark depths of the ocean. Once the prey approaches, the anglerfish swiftly opens its large mouth and uses its sharp teeth to capture it. This ambush technique allows the anglerfish to effectively hunt in their dark environments.
