A lamprey is any of various eel-shaped
jawless FISH belonging to the family
Petromyzontidae. A lamprey feeds on other
fish by fixing itself by its round mouth to
its host and boring into the flesh with its
toothed tongue. Lampreys breed in fresh
water, and the young live as larvae for about
five years before migrating to the sea.
