Tha’s Monthly Brain Fodder

Talking about sacrifices….
Did you know that the deep sea Angler fish is one of the
most fascinating and possibly ugliest fish known? The
female is at least ten times larger than her partner and can
have jaws that reach up to half the size of the body. As she
may not be very pretty, she uses her rod to light the aura
around her and attracts her partner with an infusion of her
unique scent. The male lives solely to find his one and only,
and when he finally finds her he bites into her skin and his
body tissues and blood vessels fuse with hers.
He loses his eyes, most of his internal organs and practically becomes a living organ on/for her, providing her with
a lifetime’s supply of sperm!
