British vampire fish tide
According to the news of Taiwan Province Dongsen ETtoday News Cloud on May 23rd, the number of rivers in Daus, Trent and derwent all broke the previous records. Officials of the British Environment Agency remind swimmers who love to play with water to be careful of hitting "ghosts"!
Lamprey can grow to one meter in adulthood. Although it looks like an eel, it behaves like a leech. They are cylindrical, with disc-shaped mouths and fangs. After attaching to other fish, it will suck the blood and other body fluids of its prey through its mouth. ? The title of "blood-sucking fish" came from this. When they are too hungry, they even attack humans.
Lamprey and Nautilus also enjoy the reputation of "living fossils". The reason is that the known lamprey fossils have a history of 360 million years. It is the oldest vertebrate on the earth and one of the few jawless vertebrates.
This creature originated in the Atlantic Ocean, but it can survive in fresh water and migrate to the Great Lakes region of North America. Previously, affected by the British industrial revolution, the water quality of the British lamprey habitat was seriously damaged and once extinct. But in recent years, it began to reappear in derwent River and other rivers, because the pollution level of these rivers was the lowest in the past 100 years.
