Sucker!
The ‘remora’ or ‘shark sucker’ is a fish that attaches itself to sharks by using a sucker on its head. The remora gets a free ride and eats any food that happens to float by. Remoras have also been spotted on killer whales, parrotfish, and even on ships. Gil Hewlett, of the Vancouver Aquarium, reports that one of their resident remoras pushed its luck a little too far recently and ended up being bitten by the blacktip reef shark that it was hitching a ride on! The remora is now recovering in a solitary area, waiting for its wounds to heal.
