Angler Fish
The anglerfish is an extremely strange aquatic animal that lurks around the dark spots of the ocean. What makes the Anglerfish so weird is a special organ attached to the front of it head called an Esca. The Esca is able to glow due to a special form of bacteria called bio-luminescence that emits light. This special organ allows for this peculiar fish to live in depths of the ocean up to 3,300 feet (three times the height of the Eiffel tower). These fish have made appearance in loads of movies including Ice Age or Finding Nemo?

Something doesn't make sense here because deer can outrun humans anytime, day or night.....?....I am just wondering if that deer found himself a loose bottle of Green River Whiskey .....

 

Actually, a fit human can outrun a deer if given 3-4 hours. We evolved for endurance and the deer for sprinting. In fact, over long distances a human can outrun almost any other animal. Your fun coin fact for today! https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/27/health/27well.html
