Answer
Hi Mahasen,
 Deepwater anglerfishes are some of the weirdest fishes. They have a "lure" on the head which has a little fish-like blob on the end of it (called the esca). The anglerfish waves the esca around, and other little fishes come close to see what is going on or to try to eat it. At that point, the anglerfish swallows the new little fish!  It's very weird and interesting.
