this section of the article was something you don't read about everyday.

Dr Norman named the deep sea angler fish, with its bizarre sex life, as one of the most unusual inhabitants.

"The female is the size of a tennis ball. It has big savage teeth, little nasty pin eyes . . . and a rod lure off the top of its head with a glowing tip to coax in stupid prey." The male "looks like a black jellybean with fins".

When a male finds a female, he bites into her side, never letting go. "He drinks her blood, in return for giving her sperm," Dr Norman said. The flesh of the two fish eventually fuses "and they remain connected, permanently. It's sexual vampirism, with a bit of dwarfism thrown in. They have found females with up to six males attached."
