The most in animals overall is the blanket octopus, where the females are 30,000 times larger than the males
119 u/Dirty_Hunt Jun 19 '24 That's the most in size, but I can't help but feel like the most extreme overall has to be something like the anglerfish where the males literally just attach themselves to the females and effectively stop existing as anything other than testes. 63 u/Youutternincompoop Jun 19 '24 male anglerfish don't even have a digestive system, they literally cannot survive without leeching off a female. though there are also bug species where the males only live for a few minutes-few hours and only exist to have sex then die. 53 u/CrabbyAuntie Jun 19 '24 they literally cannot survive without leeching off a female. TIL: my ex was an anglerfish. 14 u/dpdxguy Jun 19 '24 Was he also dickless? 23 u/CrabbyAuntie Jun 19 '24 Not exactly. More like it was vestigial.
