A scuba diver is seen near a coral reef in the sea. He films the cleaner shrimp entering his open mouth. The tiny crustacean picks up bits of food from the diver’s teeth and cleans its gums with its feet.
The shrimp went inside the man’s mouth as well but he stood patiently, allowing the animal to do its job.
At the end of the 59-second video, the shrimp leaves the diver and heads back to the coral reef.
Social media users were stunned to see the shrimp going inside the diver’s mouth. “Crantist,” said one of the users on Twitter.
“Be like shrimp, sir you are not flossing daily,” said another.
“No thanks, I’ll settle for this super cool thing called a toothbrush,” commented a third user.
