ENJOY a relaxing swim with some local leeches!

Yes, LEECHES🪱🪱🪱
#Leechnado

These leeches were observed in a roadside stream entering Green Bay, Wisconsin, during Northern Pike fieldwork.

These are predatory leeches, not parasitic blood-sucking leeches. They feed on other small invertebrates!

Spend YEARS on #SciComm for gar conservation, but videos on Paddlefish feeding and creepy leeches get over 1 MILLION views 🤷‍♂️😂

At least it’s all freshwater💧
