Opis

What marine animal is a lamprey? The Lamprey is a type of fish. Although it is sometimes called a lamprey eel, that is a misnomer - it's not a species of eel at all. Although it somewhat looks like an eel because it doesn't have scales, it actually looks more like a snake, but it is not a species of snake either. A Lamprey is simply a type of jawless fish - but it's far from being simple. Its most interesting (and creepy) part is its mouth, because it looks like a vacuum with a LOT of teeth. Because of its habit of sucking blood from other sea creatures, it is sometimes called the vampire of the deep. Are you scared yet? Don't be - Lampreys are not harmful to humans. They can be a pest, yes, but they can't literally inflict harm to people just because they're considered "vampires." In fact, it's people that Lampreys should be scared of, because as a type of fish, they can also be eaten by humans. Excited to learn more about the Lamprey?
