Arctic lamprey: a terrifying prehistoric zombie fish

The Arctic lamprey has a special appearance, a slender body like a snake, a very strange head, and seven gill holes on both sides of the body behind its eyes, so it is called a lamprey. The Arctic lamprey has only one nostril, and the weirdest thing is its mouth, which is extremely ugly, but chilling.
The body length of the Arctic lamprey is about 13 to 31 cm, the longest known to humans is more than 60 cm, and it is estimated that it is a bowl-sized scar, and the horror is comparable to the horror of the blood-sucking blanket.

The terrifying blood-sucking process of the Arctic lamprey
Once the Arctic lamprey begins to attack the target, it is difficult to let go, and the teeth of The Sensen in the mouth will all penetrate the flesh, and the piston in the middle will pierce the host at the same time.
When they are firmly anchored in the host, they will stay on it for several hours to a day, constantly scraping and chiseling, resting for a while, and then scraping and chiseling, which is really no different from a vampire.
The Arctic lamprey generally leaves when the host is still alive, because killing the host is not conducive to the survival of the parasite, and when the host dies, it can no longer suck the host's blood. The host can restore the blood supply and has been alive to be the next delicacy for the lamprey.
Arctic lampreys like to attack small fish like herring and then nibble on their flesh until only one fishbone remains. Fish attacked by lamprey eels will most likely die of excessive blood loss and infection, and a large hole will be left in the body, and the scene is also quite bloody and terrifying.
