Lampreys and how their body works.

The google definition of lamprey eels. Lampreys/Lamprey eels are an ancient extant lineage of jawless fish of the order Petromyzontiformes, placed in the superclass Cyclostomata. The adult lamprey may be characterized by a toothed, funnel-like sucking mouth. ... The plural form lamprey is sometimes seen.

The features of  lampreys are slimy, Jawless, scale-less, Bone less, and slender. How they stay on to the fish/animal that they bite onto they have a circle like sucker that they latch onto their prey. Then they use their tongue to break through the fish scales after they break that they start eating the meat. After they eat the meat they start sucking the blood(Not a lot of species of lampreys suck the blood). Some people call the lamprey an underwater vampire/leech because they slowly drain the blood out of the fish’s body. 

The mouth of a lamprey is one of the weirdest mouths in the animal kingdom therefore it can do some weird stuff right?

The reason that lampreys are very weird is because of evolution and evolution led to a very very strange and weird fish. One of the weird things about the lamprey is that it doesn't have a jaw. The reason that lampreys does not have a jaw is a result of millions of years of evolution. I’ll list some of the weird things about a lamprey. First kind of weird thing is that lampreys don’t eat with their teeth they break up the meat with their tongue then they break that chunk of meat with their Pharyngeal teeth(or throat teeth). 

Another reason why lampreys are weird is that they are one of the only 2 families (with 50 species in each family) of jawless fish and they are hagfish and are good friend lamprey eels.

4 truths 1 lie

 four truths one lie

In class our teachers played four truths one lie so i thought i might as well do this.

I had to go to the ER( emergency room) 3 times.

In my whole life i had 5 dogs 4 fish 4 hamsters and 1 cat so 14 pets in my whole life.

I've gotten hitten by a tree in the head.

I don't know what to put here.

Most times when i get a pet for myself they live the longest.

Information Report

I had to do a paragraph for each animal it shows.  We had to write at least 5 sentences about each animal and I really liked writing about the Kangaroo because they are interesting and they are marsupials.
