Brief Summary
provided by Ecomare
Lampreys have a suction mouth with several rings of teeth. With these teeth, they can clamp themselves to the skin of other fish or marine mammals. They drink the victims' blood or body fluids through the wound. Lampreys can be identified by the nine holes on each side of their head. Seven are used for breathing, the eighth one is an eye and the ninth one is a nostril.
