Cymothoa exigua is an insect that grabs onto a fish’s tongue, and slowly eats away at it until only a stub is left. It then replaces the tongue with its own body, living comfortably inside the fish’s mouth. Link |

Yoda (the small brown mouse on the left) was the world’s oldest mouse. It lived for 4 years and 12 days, or double the average lifespan of a regular mouse.
Yoda’s secret? No, not calorie-restricted diet. Instead, Yoda was the result of selective breeding – this strain of mice stay smaller and age more slowly. Link
Another strain of mice, bred to have a more active anti aging protein called Klotho, live between 19% to 31% longer than normal mice. Link |
