It can also clench its gills and blow, forcibly ejecting whatever is in its mouth. This is what happened to a number of scuba divers who got to close and were accidentally sucked in. The world goes dark and fwoomp, you're back in the light.

If the shark were bothered he'd eject them like piscine confetti.

that would almost certainly fail to work on this fish, which have powerful suckers with which they can attach themselves to their host. And even if the whaleshark did do that, they'd probably just attach to the outside and go back in the mouth as soon as convenient, if they wanted to.

Those are Pilot Fish and they have no suckers. You're thinking of (and I poo poo you not, this is their real name) a Sharksucker.

Nvm I am wrong on what type of fish those were

You are correct, I *am* wrong. I was being a lazy rear end and didn't want to go back one page to look at the picture and just assumed they were Pilot Fish. They are indeed Sharksuckers.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
The fish that suck are called suckerfish.

Monkey Business bar. Best margaritas ever, and I was also quite fond of the Pina Coladas.

I did the whale shark thing outside of Holbox (look it up, and then forget about it) and there were waaaay too many companies jockeying for position around these sharks. Spinning propellers everywhere. But I did get pushed aside by a tail fin as big as I am and that was cool as poo poo. Cabo is supposed to be a better experience.

pagliacci means clowns in italian, this is how you pronounce it

I love that google translate stresses the pronounciation to make it sound like a bad caricature of an italian speaking, lol

Except for the strange emphasis coming from the COMPUTER VOICE, that's how I thought it was pronounced. Definitely 4 syllables.

And in any case, the joke doesn't work in Italian for the obvious reason, so you're equally obviously not intended to pronounce it exactly like a native Italian speaker.
