Definition
A small animal or organism that lives as a parasite on the outside of another animal's body.
Etymology
From Greek 'epi-' (upon) and 'zoon' (animal). This singular form specifically identifies individual external parasites or organisms.
Kelly Says
Every epizoan tells a story of evolutionary arms race—parasites evolve ways to attach and feed, while their hosts evolve defenses, creating an endless dance of adaptation that drives evolution itself.
