Jun. 19, 1978 - Hitch Hiking - On A Turtle: Avoiding the main traffic jams, this pilot fish evidently prefers to commute on the stomach of a turtle. A form of -not piggy back but piggy-belly, one might say. Actually, the fish is a aristocrat amongst the parsite family. Sticking itself to a bigger passerby, it not only gets a free ride but is also on hand to share any meals that his benefactor might provide.
