Anglerfish

The animal that Alex is talking about on this episode  lives deep within the total darkness of the ocean. They have extremely unique adaptations, and you would probably get nightmares just looking at them. Even though they have a face only a mother could love, they are also an amazing example of how organisms evolve to fit their environment. So, grab your flashlight because we’re going to a place where no sunlight reaches to talk about anglerfish.

“Deep sea anglerfish can live up to 6,600 feet below the surface, living their entire lives in the complete absence of sunlight.”
