@thewildverse: Remoras are small marine fish best known for the special suction disk on top of their heads, which allows them to attach to larger animals like sharks, whales, sea turtles, and even boats. This disk is actually a modified dorsal fin that creates suction, helping the remora hitch a ride and save energy while traveling through the ocean. By attaching to a host, remoras gain protection from predators and easy access to food, often eating scraps left behind by their host or feeding on parasites on the host’s skin. The relationship is usually considered commensalism, meaning the remora benefits while the host is neither significantly helped nor harmed.#fyp
