I did look through this thread, I did not see this posted, but if this was done here before I apologize.
About a species of bug that gets eaten by a toad and they are pooped out alive

Makes you wonder if there’s an alternative ending to the Jonah and the whale story.

This is hilarious! What's so comical is that the ram seems to have shoved the guy -- who was peaceably fishing and minding his own business -- for no apparent reason. He was like, "There's a guy fishing. I think I'll butt him into the water. Maybe knock his hat off."

You are looking at a parasite called Cymothoa Exigua. It enters through a fishes gills, eats their tongue and then replaces it. This lil delight literally sucks out the blood off the fish's tongue, and then replaces the withered tongue with itself. Now every time the fish eats, it takes away a portion of the food for itself.

I'm including the video, just in case anyone did not click on this one.
How in the world can an animal have such unbelievable power, while spending its day barely moving. It's not like it works out in the gym every day. I wonder how much horsepower it has. Seriously.

Hippos are amazing swimmers. THey're closest cousins are whales.
THey're also fiercely territorial. They kill more humans every year than any mammal other than dogs (and other humans, obv).
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
