broknsymetry Humpback anglerfish (Melanocetus johnsonii) Unless you are diving very deep (200m-1900m, 1000m avg) you'd probably never encounter one. Even then the female grows to only about 6 inches and the male about 1 inch. One was recently photographed near the surface, the only known such observation.

HELLFIRE broknsymetry After I watched Jaws I was afraid to go into the ocean for quite some time. ...Don't remind me. SOMEhow my childhood self was convinced Jaws lived in a particular local swimming pool in the neighborhood. Avoided that like the plague everytime we went! ð ð Regards
