Lampreys (also known as sea lampreys) are primitive parasites that feed off other organisms. Inside their tubular mouths are razor-sharp teeth, arranged in circular rows, which work like a can opener. By boring a hole in their victim's flesh, the lamprey is able to expose the raw and bloody muscle beneath. An anticoagulant in its saliva keeps the wound open and prevents the blood from clotting until the lamprey has eaten its fill.
