lol,it definitely looks like something straight out the the Alien movies.
i cant get over how much it looks like a baby alien living inside the fish,
Imagine if you were fishing and that came up on your line, then when you went to pull your hook out that thing was screeching at you or wiggling around! ahhhh sick!
lmao, wow! as if someone actually made an anime of this, lol....
After watching your vid i found this one in the related section,
it's sorta graphic though... someone cut the parasite out of the fishes mouth.. and then kills it, i think the person in the video is a little psycho.... but here go watch if you choose. I dont think i could do what she does so calmly... heh
I would like to know the evolutionary back-ground behind that thing.. It's not cute.. not gross.. but it is a bug.. kinda looks like a wingless cockroach to me.. and being that it is bug-like... I simply want to squish them with my shoe. and hear the crunchy sound.
though I now have a new thing to scare my friends kid with as to why he should brush his teeth, and not play with nasty beetle bug things.
It is cool, and I wanna send one to my brother to poke at with his microscope and tweezers.
