Episode Details

A brand-new deep-sea anglerfish has been discovered in the Pacific, glowing mysteriously at depths over 2,000 feet with a bioluminescent lure to snag prey in total darkness.

Scientists are racing to study its behavior, genetics, and glowing chemistry, reminding us that the deep ocean still hides wonders we’ve barely begun to imagine.
