The Vampire Fish I SLICE I Full documentary

In the north of the Kenyan coast in the Kiwayu island, the Bajun people have practiced an extraordinary technique for centuries: remora fishing.

The remora, a fish whose head contains a small suction cup, attaches itself to turtles, rays and sharks for nourishment. Legend has it that the remora sucks its victims’ blood to tire them out, hence the nickname, “vampire fish”. Alphan and Aruni are Bajun fishermen. During the first days of Ramadan, they get ready to sail out to sea in their traditional boats. The only way they can survive is to fish along the coast, using the vampire fish, will they succeed?

How nostalgic it is to look at these beautiful pictures.!!! In the late 1986 I had the privilege to visit the Bajuni islands on the Somali side and spend an unforgettable day with Jibril the 'nakooda' of Koyama together with the wonderful Bajun people who will remain forever in the deepest of my heart. They were able to use an Interesting technics to catch sea crayfish. Some iron wire shaped like a couple of tennis rackets with a hose of net stitched along the round end of both the rackets. This tool was presented in front of the sea crayfish to entangle him when frightened with a spear inserted in the lair was trying to escape.

That’s crazy how they seem to have the bare minimum, but seem happier than a millionaire. We take things for granted way too much. Cool story!✌🏽

It's all about things which our ancestors gave us, it is not in the terms of material but the knowledge, which help humans to survive from infinite years and this life can't be stopped, until we harm our mother nature, respect every creature in this universe, like people of pumba respect and gave a special place in their life to vampire fish, awesome marine life on punmba island.
