There's something about big teeth that makes fish scary, especially the humpback anglerfish, with an added bonus of a dark, slimy body. This one is a female, about the size of a tennis ball. The male is smaller, about the size of a jelly bean, and mates with the female by latching onto her with his hooked teeth, drinking her blood and supplying sperm, according to The Encyclopedia of New Zealand. How romantic.
