All the pictures of deep sea angler fish you see with lil lights hanging on their heads, they are all female.
The male angler fish is very small, has a very weak jaw when he is born, and has a great sense of hunger.

We all know that an octopus has 8 legs, but did you know that it also has 3 hearts and 9 brains and it can pass through a body with only it Quarter size hole.

0 Every once in a while, an emperor penguin will do some very strange things
For example, every once in a while, an emperor penguin will leave its colony and start traveling to Antarctica Inside the continent, far away from food, water, and safe settlements, dying alone, almost like a zombie. This phenomenon has puzzled scientists, who in the past have tried to stop them or bring them back to their colonies. At this point they simply turn around and start their journey again, in the same direction, towards the same end. Some emperor penguins can even become violent if interfered with.
The common thought is that this penguin is depressed, and there are many possible explanations for this (including a fungal infection similar to a cordyceps infection, which may cause some insects to behave in the exact same way, potential signs of brain tumors, etc. etc.)
Birds are known to be depressed or anxious, but they tend to react to this in very direct ways, such as excessive feeding (pulling out their own feathers), screaming or being unusually quiet, loss of appetite, etc. (Birds Anorexia-like), these activities are very obvious signs of stress, but choosing to wander the abyss of the unforgiving frozen continent like the Emperor Penguins means that they have deeper analysis and thinking, so the reasons may not be as you imagine.
