    Move over star-nosed mole, here comes that debilitatingly-cute, self-illuminating, deep-sea creature, the Anglerfish:


    "Their most distinctive feature, worn only by females, is a piece of dorsal spine that protrudes above their mouths like a fishing pole—hence their name. Tipped with a lure of luminous flesh this built-in rod baits prey close enough to be snatched. Their mouths are so big and their bodies so pliable, they can actually swallow prey up to twice their own size." (from http://kozar.wordpress.com/2010/06/04/7 ... creatures/)

    I have to ask whether you resisted saying "holy moly" on purpose.
    Because you just said "holy" nothing. and..... there's the picture...
    Was it purposeful or did you really just get that close and stop?
