Cymothoa exigua is a unique parasite due to its ability to replace the tongue of its host fish. • This parasite is commonly found in warm waters around South and Central America. • Once it enters the fish's mouth, Cymothoa exigua attaches itself to the base of the tongue and feeds on the host's blood to survive. • Over time, the parasite gradually replaces the fish's tongue with itself and becomes a functional tongue. • Despite living inside the fish's mouth, Cymothoa exigua does not damage the fish's vital organs. • When Cymothoa exigua replaces the fish's tongue, the fish can still eat and function normally. • This parasite is found in various types of fish, including coral fish and freshwater fish. • Cymothoa exigua has a high reproductive capacity, and one fish can host several individuals of this parasite. • If Cymothoa exigua is removed from its host fish's mouth, the fish will have difficulty eating and reproducing. • Copyright Image Video • Thanks to • Instagram: @baresiliano / @louisa_briggs / @papzillar / @gillcollomb / @goriest / @dantemiracle.id / @koipartner_official / @greenearth.lovers • Backsound • YouTube Studio : Sinister - Anno Domini Beats • Unlock the wonders of the natural world with Nature Clips.
