The remora benefits package is very attractive. First, as long as a remora is attached to a shark, who’s going to give it any trouble? Next, sharks are very sloppy eaters, often leaving plenty of delectable morsels floating around. While the shark is preoccupied with the main course, the remora slips off, gobbles some scraps, and then reattaches until the next meal. Remoras aren’t picky. They’ll also attach to whales, tuna, and rays, so long as there’s a free meal involved. In any case, they’ve developed a survival technique that would make any Godfather proud.
