Bizarre Tongue-Eating Parasite Discovered

vr_don · 09-10-2009, 03:41 PM

There's been a spate of amazing animal discoveries recently--the giant rat-eating plants found in the Philippines, a huge woolly rat discovered in a volcanic crater--and now, yet another creature has emerged that could be right out of a sci-fi film. It's a bizarre creature that survives by eating its hosts' tongue and then attaching itself inside the mouth.

It looks like the creature from Alien!

There are still many thousands of species yet to be discovered by us humans.

It is rather cute in a way. I would not doubt a new creature being found, it's been recently than new species of insects, frogs and snakes have been found in the rain forest or even in the U.S.A.
