The candiru is a species of parasitic freshwater catfish native to the Amazon Basin. The smaller species are known for an alleged tendency to enter the urethra of hapless swimmers and then lodging itself in place with sharp barbs. Next, it proceeds to feast on its victim from the inside—a horror story that is enough to keep your legs firmly crossed for days on end.
