This is the parasite called Cymothoa Exigua. This little charm manages to penetrate through a fish's gills, literally suck the blood from the fish's tongue to then eat it and then replace it. Now, every time the fish eats, it takes a portion of the food away. (from a FB posting).

How can such a cute little guy be so greedy?

Another shot:
They usually invade their host by this time of year - April. Much like the IRS. Of course the IRS targets the human brain by first invading their wallets.
That's why I, personally, would much rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy!!

You should try combining the two. The world becomes a very, very peaceful, pleasant and relaxing place.

He IS the indicated expert on catfish, cattails and catamarans. He has a high expertise of cat videos, Cat Mando, Cat Baloo and cat-tasrophes. Not sure about cat-e-wampus.

Yuk. Remind me not to swim near this fish. The parasite might make a mistake and I need my tongue.
