Wolftrap Angler

Thaumatichthys binghami

The Wolftrap Angler is slightly different from many other species of anglers. It has its bioluminescent lure located inside of its mouth instead of connected to its body. Even though it is intimidating up close, it is only nine centimeters in size. It is found in the deep ocean at 2432m.
