Do you know anyone who likes to go fly fishing? An amazing creature that employs this basic method to catch its prey is the angler fish. The deep sea angler has been provided with an amazing appendage coming off the front of its dorsal fin that allows it to attract prey. The appendage is bioluminescent; this means that it utilizes bacteria to make it glow, an added attractant. The angler fish is created perfectly to withstand the water pressure and incredible cold associated with living deep in the ocean. It is able to blend in with its surroundings and has an ingenious method of catching its food. God has shown us unfathomable resourcefulness once again through the angler fish.
