When Nature Is Freakier Than Sci-Fi

No, this isn't about the members of Skin's Island.

Finally, fishermen off the northern coast of France have found a large parasitic isopod (a relative of the louse) that has evolved a rather hideous method for survival in its host: It gets into the fish’s mouth and then devours its tongue. It then attaches itself at the back of the fish’s throat where it presumably feeds of whatever the fish normally eats. The really bizarre part is that the fish doesn’t seem to suffer any ill effects other than the loss of its tongue.

Warning, proceed with caution.





















I don't know which is worse, the thing that takes the place of the fish's tongue, or the fact that the fish has human looking teeth.

They opened up the fish's mouth and the thing started singing "Hello, my honey!  Hello, my baby!  Hello, my ragtime gal!"

Sure, they look cute - even laughable - when they're larvae.



But when they grow up...
