Nah man, no way. This one must be off of Temu.

This anglerfish maybe. They can grow up to a length of up to 1.5 meters or so.

^(“I AM THE DEEP!”)

WHY HIS FUCKING LAMP IS NOT WORKING

Some anglerfish can be quite large, reaching between 3.3 feet to 4 feet (100cm to 122cm) in length. Most however are significantly smaller, often less than a foot (30cm).

The mighty ships tore across the empty wastes of space and finally dived screaming on to the first planet they came across – which happened to be the Earth – where due to a terrible miscalculation of scale the entire battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog.

This post is a prime example of misinformation 

It’s like posting a newborn dog and saying “this is the true size of a dog”

Dear diary, today OP was a piece of shit

Angler fish can grow up to 3.3 feet or one metre.

Nah, that’s just a baby

Roanoke is right about these things

Isn’t there like, a football fish, that’s basically the same as this but bigger?

It depends on species and gender, and ya know, age. There are bigger ones.

So as someone who’s family have been deep sea fishermen longer than America has been a thing….

That’s just that one species size. There are larger specimens and types.

This dudes account screams karma farm lol homie posts anything he sees online

They are a lot less scary in this perspective

Thank you, that totally makes them seem less scary.

Still big enough to nibble my toe …. Nope the seas his home I’ll stay on land joys of thallasaphobia

His mom is going to be pissed

“it’s on Reddit, must be true!”

Size may vary a lot. Some of them are really big

^^I ^^will ^^devour ^^your ^^puny ^^race! ^^Unhand ^^me!

If you google anglerfish size, you’ll find out this is not true. This just happens to be a small one.

You’re not that far off the grid with the amount of karma farming post you make in a day.

No way

Hey it’s not the size that’s matter! Besides, that’s slightly above average

I thought they would att least be football sized. And with that i mean football, not handegg.

Or the hand of a giant. We need a banana for scale.

My life is a lie

How the hell do they overheal you if they are this small, ill stick to mantas, brews and karambwans

Why do they make us believe they were big if that’s the case?

Angler Fish can get up to the size of a soccer ball.
Perhaps this is a male anglerfish, which actually have to be this size in order to mate. They basically latch onto the female’s skin and get absorbed into her, dying essentially, in order for their genetics to get used to lay eggs. It’s kinda wild.

Actual representation of my wife.

The most well-known deep-sea anglerfish, such as those from the Ceratiidae family, exhibit extreme sexual dimorphism, meaning females are significantly larger than males.

• Female anglerfish (Ceratiidae) can grow up to 3.3 feet (1 meter) in length.

• Male anglerfish are much smaller, typically only 1–3 centimeters (0.4–1.2 inches), as they exist primarily to mate with the female.

Thank good, I thought this monster was way bigger than that

I can rest easy now knowing I won’t be eaten by that thing any time soon

Octonauts taught me this 5 years ago.

Finding Nemo really screwed us 2000’s kids perception…

Straight up misinformation

Aren’t the males tiny?
