Sorry for the clickbait, but this is fishy. Published this week in Science, here is a non-paywall summary

Krøyer’s deep-sea anglerfish, Ceratias holboelli, does not spawn, copulate, or do anything a fish would ordinarily do to mate. Instead, the male—just a few inches long—clasps onto the comparatively gigantic female’s body and never lets go. Slowly, his body morphs into hers, his cells becoming hers, including his testicles, which are used to make offspring. As he vanishes, two individuals become one—taking the concept of monogamy to a new level.

John Finnemore did a sketch about the guy who designed this fish. He was going through a rough time in his marriage. I think it was called an Angela fish 😀

Nature is weird, really really weird sometimes

can I cum inside you?

🤔

I’ve had a few mates who went that way after getting married.

Damn, I thought someone else had been with the same girl as me. ( some time ago, she was from Harrogate)
& she was actually astonishing.

Sounds like the story of Hermaphroditus. I”m sure he was astonished, but not in a good way.

I find this hard to masturbate to….

It’s a challenge but hey, Working from Home.

Chapeau! to alpin and mrhoppy!

And here was I marvelling at the wonders of the absence of an innate immune system in Angler Fish – which was the new finding btw. And yes alpin and MrH made me laugh out loud too.

Sorry for the clickbait, but this is fishy.

I’ve known about this for donks, always made me think of the classic seaside postcard with the hen-pecked husband and the domineering Mrs.

Great thread, interesting and funny!

Not much of an angler
