Rare footage shows sucker fish as they whale-surf in the ocean's wildest joyride

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Scientists have captured rare footage of remoras, also known as sucker fish, hitching rides on humpback whales off the coast of Australia. The footage shows these fish peeling away just before the whale breaches, then returning to the same spots with precision. Remoras use an adhesive plate on their heads to cling to whales, feeding on dead skin and sea lice. Marine scientist Olaf Meynecke recorded the footage using suction-cup cameras on the whales. The remoras seem to know when to let go, he says. While the fish are harmless, the footage suggests whales might find them annoying.
