"The remora is a relative of the perch which habitually attaches itself to the belly of a shark using a specialized, corrugated, suckerlike structure on top of its head; this in fact develops from its dorsal fin. The remora is thus carried like a hitchhiker as the shark swims through the sea." (Shuker 2001:163)
