Sailors of old used to believe that a remora can slow down or even stop a sailing ship so she couldn't run away from bad weather.

And here I was certain that they just swam extremely close to sharks.

When it can stay stuck for 25 seconds with no help, it'll evolve into Octillery.

I was just thinking how weird the suction pad looked, as though it wasn't organic .

Caught one of these off the beach in St Joe's, Florida. They don't even look real!

No, like a suction cup surface on their heads.

In the full video, they leave it there a few seconds, remove it, then release it.

Most commonly found on the bottom of sharks to clean them from bacteria. It is a mutual benefit relationship.

There's a sucker born every minute - P. T. Barnum. W.C. Fields also used the quote quite a bit.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

That's a pretty obscure quote. Is it a common reference in the US? I had to Google who those two men were.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

WC Fields, yes. A bit obscure. But I would have though PT Barnum's name would have carried across the pond.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I live in the U.S and I have no idea who those people are.
