There are many parasites the world over. This example is known only by its scientific name - Cymothoa exigua but it is generally considered one of the weirdest out there!
Parasites often mean the demise of their host after a close and prolonged association with it. In general they tend to be a great deal smaller than their host – think about us and the lovely tapeworm! This one goes one better. If you think about a tapeworm replacing your liver, for example, you are along the right lines!
