And what is happening is these barnacles are basically growing these roots into the shark's dense tissue.
and are feeding off of their blood and their serum and their various bodily fluids in the tissue and aren't feeding on plankton.
So they found that the digestive tracts of these barnacles are absent of nutrients of food, that they're absorbing it directly into their own circulatory system, stealing it from the sharks.
So it's become this amazing...
indication of like almost quick evolution and adaptation where the barnacle has not changed its form.
It's just changed its abilities.
It's like a new power.
Yep.
So my disclaimer starting this off is although I am a real for a true veterinarian, almost, I think likely.
I don't like this running gag.
Our treatment, our lessons, our training in behavior is very limited.
However, I have dealt with one of my own dogs named Snuggles, a little shih tzu.
And Snuggles bit one of my children.
And like your dog, Snuggles was only 10-ish pounds.
He didn't do any damage other than causing pain.
I actually had a behaviorist come into my house and I learned so much.
And Snuggles did very, very well.

Are there other scenarios other than on the couch, don't you dare move me, Dad, I am the king, that he snaps at you?
Yes.
