A <b>Black Dragonfish</b>
 is very long and very thin fish that lives in the deep water and will 
go as low in the water as about 2 thousand feet. They live in 
mesopelagic to bathypelagic waters at depths of about 2,000 m.<br />
<br />
This
 species presents one of the most extreme cases of sex**l  dimorphism 
known. The female is maximum of  40cm long, with small eyes, chin 
barbell  and long fang-like teeth, which are used for catching its 
primary food item - other fish. The male is just  5cm and has no teeth, 
no chin barbel, a non-functional gut, and is dark brown rather than 
black.<br />
<br />
The Black Dragonfish has a very unique ability. Like a lot of fish who live in the deep ocean or sea, <b>it can make its own headlight.</b></div>

The crazy part is that those lines you see running through the wings like veins are actually its ribs. They can expand and contract their chests at will to glide great distances. We were only able to catch females as they were laying their eggs. All we could do is watch as the males soared overhead.<br />
