Newly Discovered Parasite

Talk about disgusting! So far everyone who has seen these pictures was severely freaked out. This newfound species is a type of parasitic louse. It attaches itself inside a fish's mouth and feeds off the fish's tongue. When the fish's tongue has been totally eaten, it remains in the fish's mouth to feed off of food particles the fish eats.
