•On the underside of the Angler Fish towards the rear is a small object attached to the flesh. This "attachment" is actually the male Angler Fish. He attaches himself to the female by biting into the skin. This will be the last bite he ever takes! Over time their bloodstream will become one. The male will lose all his organs and eventually even his eyes. From this point on he will spend the remainder of his life, living as a parasite, dependant on the female for all his nourishment. For the female he will be a source of sperm, inseparable, and mated for life.
