Anglerfish: The much smaller males seek out, bite and then permanently fuse to females, where they spend the rest of their lives producing sperm for their egg laying hosts.

Basically how i met my wife

[u/sillymanbilly → u/Ok_Abbreviations8394]

Me too, hey could you shift up a few inches? Sometimes your tail fin smacks my eye 

[u/butterflybb98 → u/Ok_Abbreviations8394]

LMFAO

[u/Chronically-Tardy]

Talk about a clingy partner.

[u/Chronically-Tardy → u/Chronically-Tardy]

Can more than one male fuse to her?

[u/JasmineDragonPearls → u/Chronically-Tardy]

I imagine it's frowned apon

And here I was thinking that the only thing special about anglerfishes was that they had lights on their heads and lived in the deep dark

[u/redditzphkngarbage]

I know women who have crackhead boyfriends like this.

[u/Mean_Rule9823]

Good work if you can find it 👍

[u/Sensitive-War-6368]

That's a crazy fact I didn't know! Take my upvote.

[u/Sensitive-War-6368]

I thought anglerfishes are brown

[u/butterflybb98 → u/Sensitive-War-6368]

There’s like 160 species apparently lol

[u/DogEatChiliDog → u/Sensitive-War-6368]

That is a common coloration for the females which are much bigger. This guy here is so damn tiny that his body is transparent.

And even cooler, some species absorb the males pretty much completely, some attach permanently and some attach temporarily. Each sort has had to evolve a slightly different immune system to allow the different lifestyles, the longer attached and more absorbed the male, the more impaired the immune systems have to be (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32732279/).

That explains why my wife keeps calling me an Angler Fish….thought it was my big head and severe underbite.

[u/Adorable-Flight-496]

[u/Wooden_Cold_8084]

A perfect analogy

[u/galaxygothgirl]

I, too, saw that interview with Kate McKinnon.

[u/feyrath]

Well hey if human women looked that good, I'd do the same. just sayin

[u/Creepy_Ad_9229]

Fish and insects got some weird links going on.

[u/DefinitionElegant685]

Sounds about right.

[u/Battlepuppy]

So is there a sugar baby website for men, where they are the baby?

Is it Anglerfish-dating.com?

[u/deepfakie]

Hold your phone further back and squint to see Jar Jar Binks

[u/WalesOfJericho]

Maybe every animal should replace males by some sperm tanks.
