What's the evolutionary explanation for how the male anglerfish turned into such pathetic creatures? lol

[-] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

Quick guess on why this is advantageous: the male is superfluous after providing sperm, so the absorption of its body provides nutrients to the female during gestation.

How did this occur? I've no idea.
