"Literally the strangest fish in the world, scientists derived the idea of organ transplantation from them.
When male and female mate, they adhere to each other's bodies, dissolve, and become one body, it is called the abyssal monkfish. After the male finds the female in the dark depths of the sea, he adheres to her body forever, losing his eyes and internal organs as they share their blood vessels. This mating method is called "sexual parasitism" because the male is much smaller than the female, which gives him the opportunity to enter her reproductive system, and the two bodies adhere for fertilization.
This phenomenon is naturally rare because the male can no longer feed himself, and the two bodies share the same blood circulation, becoming a parasitic element that gradually dissolves and eliminates the male body. This method gave scientists and doctors new inspiration regarding the possibility of human organ transplantation.
