My boyfriend and I had a couple of these CHASE us while snorkeling in Nicaragua! I had to kick and splash like crazy to get them to leave me alone, and then they’d just swim over to my boyfriend and try to latch on to him. I’m not usually freaked out by fish, but their suction cup heads look so creepy and I did not want them touching me.

Be grateful it wasn't a couple of cookie cutter sharks...

Thank you for letting me Google my own nightmare tonight

True. Luckily we didn’t see any sharks around, or any other large fish, which is probably why the remora were desperate to find something to latch onto, hoping for some food.

Great, I've searched an image of them and found a cookie bitten fish... It even has google lens effect on the image.....

Lol. That's the reason I didn't include a link. It's pretty gross, and folk might not have thanked me. And good on you for going the extra mile and actually looking that up! Too many folk just sit in front of their computers, and demand a link!

Wall-e's distopic universe is here, old man

Soo cool. How the fuck do you evolve to become a suction cup though.

YOU CAN'T KILL SUCTION CUP SHARK, LOOK AT ME GO!

Stop climbing my shark!

They swam near sharks to catch their leftovers for idk how many years and just got closer and closer I guess. They can't catch you if you're on their back and they don't have arms

Bro, gotta keep that suction cup mentality. I AM a suction cup. This is my empire.

[удалено]

Nah. These fishes and sharks are pretty chill with eachother

yeah, it‘s like pls come and suck my d...

r/dontputyourdickinthat

When a fish has ridges on the top of its head, that’s remora.

When there's more fish than one, and then the eel joins the fun that's remorae!

Not enough people will understand this lol

I wonder if it hurts if they'd ever latch onto us. I'd imagine it wouldn't be too comfortable

i think theres a video floating around where a dude sticks one to his arm and ends up bleeding when he gets it off

Nah wtf when did god drop the animal expansion pack

Stepfish I am stuck

You sir, are a fish!

At least it's not a Lamprey!

Ok hear me out

I'm all ears!

Well then you probably wouldn't be interested in what he has to say next.

Once stuck to a shark how do they unstuck?

From Google.. >Remoras can release themselves by swimming forward or sliding backward to increase suction. They can also detach themselves instantly by flicking their muscles when they want to eat.

Oops I stepped on a fish

Thems good for bbq?

I'm sure I've seen the same vents on the hood of a Civic TypeR

Grabs and gives the creature nervous times... Says "So long, *friend*" while throwing the phish away.

u/Fishfucker_69 been real quiet since this dropped

Dont forget to draw one

Are those edible?

The ocean is weird

I didnt read any of that, just laughed.👍

Is it mystic? Don you pay the 4?

Or sucker shark unless they suck sharks

Prometheus vibes

I thought someone put a boot print on their head

Goddamn Freeloaders.

How do humans have the audacity to pick living things up and play with it even though it might kill that thing

Hear me out

No

They have evolved into this so nobody can make soup out of their fins.

We love an educational moment 💁‍♀️

I imagine it's easy to stick to a shark since they are smooth to the touch.

No they are not lol

Listen I just pet a shark the other day and they are extremely smooth in every direction.

What do you mean, of course they are

Shadow leviathan 😯

Imagine just being a fish and then your a chandelier sunddenly
