A Very Weird Fish Called Lamprey

I had no idea what a Lamprey was but after doing a little bit of google search i found that lamprey means stone lickers, but what did this had to do with fishes? Well Lampreys (sometimes also called lamprey eels) are a family of jawless fish, whose adults are characterized by a toothed, funnel-like sucking mouth. While lampreys are well-known for those species which bore into the flesh of other fish to suck their blood, most species of lamprey are non-parasitic and never feed on other fish. In zoology, lampreys are sometimes not considered to be true fish because of their distinctive morphology and physiology. One thing is for sure with lampreys: they look incredible weird!
