Catching a ride


The trumpetfish is an underwater hitchhiker. It is catching a ride through a tropical reef on the back of a Spanish hogfish. The trumpetfish is not being lazy -- swimming with another fish lets it sneak up on his prey. Relationships between animals are common in nature, and they help animals survive.
