Speak about freaky wanting! This long-snouted lancetfish (Alepisaurus ferox), a nocturnal predator that is not often seen close to shore, is understood not solely by its giant fangs and tall dorsal fin, but in addition by its behavior of consuming others of its personal species.
As a result of it is a comparatively unusual fish that inhabits the open ocean, little is understood about its life cycle. In adolescence, lancetfish are hermaphrodites (having each female and male intercourse organs), although there isn't any proof of grownup hermaphrodites.
The cannibal fish can develop to be so long as 6.5 toes (2 meters) in size. Lancetfish typically feed at night time, and along with eating on different lancetfish, in addition they eat crustaceans, squid and smaller species of fish.
