Prehistoric Fish: Kiss Me!
All the creatures in the world have evolved from the water, and with the evolution of the times, many creatures have gradually disappeared, and the first species of prehistoric creatures mentioned in general is almost all "dinosaurs", but the creatures that the British man accidentally found in the river are prehistoric creatures that appeared on the earth 200 million years earlier than dinosaurs!
▼ When the British man was bathing by the river, he was shocked to see a creature of about 50 centimeters swimming in the water. But then I couldn't help but look forward carefully because of curiosity, and I found that the creature's appearance was extremely peculiar.
▼ This eel-like creature has a rounded mouth, small fangs, a slender body, no scales on the epidermis, and a dorsal fin on its back that extends to the tail to form a tail fin.
▼ The man originally thought that he had discovered a new species, but tried to catch it twice in vain. At this time, the locals heard about the arrival, more and more people onlookers, some people proposed to contact experts to catch, after the success of the capture, the on-site biological experts found that this strange fish is actually a "lamprey eel" that has been extinct in the British river for 200 years.
▼ The biggest feature of the lamprey is the way it eats, it will use the large mouth full of sharp teeth to suck the fish, suck the flesh and blood of the prey, until only a skeleton remains.
▼ The teeth of the lamprey eel are extremely sharp, so they can cut through the scales of fish.
Interestingly, although the appearance of the lamprey is extremely terrifying, and it is the prototype of the underwater vampire demon in the American horror film "Blood Lake", it has been one of the "delicacies" that only nobles can enjoy since ancient Europe. It is said that the lamprey is so delicious that even King Henry I of England was fascinated by it, and he died because he ate too many lampreys, and it has been extinct in England for a long time because it is too delicious and has been hunted indiscriminately!
