Candiru (
English and
Portuguese) or
candirú (
Spanish), also known as
cañero or
toothpick fish, are a number of genera of
parasitic freshwater catfish in the
family Trichomycteridae; all are native to the
Amazon River. Although some candiru species have been known to grow to a size of 16 inches (~41 cm) in length, others are considerably smaller. These smaller species are known for an alleged tendency to invade and parasitize the human
urethra; however, despite ethnological reports dating back to the late 19th century,
[1] the first documented case of a candiru parasitizing a human did not occur until 1997.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, including you Satch...
And just think, a few of us do have to worry about the 16 inchers as well!
