its a lamprey. a jawless fish that attaches itself to the side of a larger fish and sucks the life out of it like a nasty 3 foot leech.

[–]M0b1u5 3 points4 points ago

Protip: no person in the history of the world ever harmed in the slightest way by this creature.

[–]Justascienceteacher 0 points1 point ago

Nice try Lamprey.

[–]hoorayforblood 3 points4 points ago

NZ is one of the safest places to go in the world when it comes to poisonous insects and deadly wildlife. This fucker would probably make a lot of money on the S+M black market.

Honestly this just makes me want to go dive in new zealand even more.

[–]itsbigboss 1 point2 points ago

[–]Jalclo 1 point2 points ago

In Galicia, Spain, we cook it and eat it...in its own blood. Google "lamprea a la bordolesa". Ah, and it's really tasty! :)

[–]DarthContinent 0 points1 point ago

Oh c'mon, it's not like they parasitize human beings... much.

[–]_xabbu_ 1 point2 points ago

Or the great lakes. Or the Atlantic ocean.

At work we have a giant tank of these and although I don't work with them it really scares me to know that they are in the building :S. Fun fact: if you spit in the tank apparently they go nuts!

[–]Kajuuk -4 points-3 points ago

Well I'm defiantly not putting my dick in that!

[–]M0b1u5 2 points3 points ago

You defiantly are a fucking moron.

The word is "definitely".
