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).

C'mon man, who you trying to kid??
Look at them. They couldn't possibly swim. Short fat legs, big fat body. No way can something with that design swim.
Kill people? No way. They don't even have sharp teeth, and anyone could outrun such a fat, overweight, well..., hippo.
Closet cousins (whatever that means, er... Sic) to whales. My god man, one lives in the water, the other fat lardass plumps along on land.
As Jon would say:
Jesus
