lamprey
n.
eel-like fish having a rounded mouth and horny teeth
Lamprey
A lamprey (sometimes also called lamprey eel) is a
jawless fish with 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, these species make up the minority. In
zoology, lampreys are often not considered to be true
fish because of their vastly different morphology and physiology.
