2. ICYMI: Lessons from the Anglerfish
Here’s another water-themed tale for you. In February, divers captured a rare glimpse at a black seadevil anglerfish swimming diligently to the surface.
It was a major feat for science. The divers captured and delivered her to the Museum of Nature and Archaeology (MUNA) in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, to be studied. It’s believed to be the first time one of these animals has been seen in daylight.
The interest from the scientific community wasn’t surprising, but what was surprising was how the little fish’s story captured the imaginations of the internet.
