Sea lamprey mouth
Sea lamprey. Close-up of a sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in a tank. It has attached itself to the glass with its sucker-like mouth. This jawless fish is a parasite of many other types of fish. A lamprey will attach itself by its mouth to the skin of its prey and rasp through it with its rough tongue. It then sucks blood and flesh from its victim. An anticoagulant chemical in its saliva prevents the wound healing. The lamprey drops off its host when it is full or its host has died. It spends much of its life in fresh water. It returns to a river to breed and spends the first few years of its life as a filter-feeding larva in slow-flowing parts of a river
