John the fisherman

Mother nature keeps on surprising us with the finding of a new species of angler fish in the depths. How much more is there out there to find I wonder?

"A new species of fish that researchers describe as being “downright scary looking” has just been discovered in the deep sea. The new anglerfish, which has been placed in the genus Lasiognathus, adds to the growing number of formidable-looking known species in the deep sea. This particular fish, described in the journal Copeia, was found at nearly 5,000 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico’s northern region."
