Naukowcy w zasadzie nigdy nie widzieli żyjących żabnic w ich naturalnym środowisku. Właśnie dlatego ten film z 2018 roku, uchwycony w wodach wokół portugalskich wysp - Azorów, oszołomił biologów głębinowych.
Exclusive: ‘I’ve never seen anything like it.’ Video of mating deep-sea anglerfish stuns biologists
Anglerfish, with their menacing gape and dangling lure, are among the most curious inhabitants of the deep ocean. Scientists have hardly ever seen them alive in their natural environment. That’s why a new video, captured in the waters around Portugal’s Azores islands, has stunned deep-sea biologists. It shows a fist-size female anglerfish, resplendent with bioluminescent lights and elongated whiskerlike structures projecting outward from her body. And if you look closely, she’s got a mate: A dwarf male is fused to her underside, essentially acting as a permanent sperm provider.
