This Alien looking creature is called the sea lamprey.

It looks like something out of a movie but it’s real.

The sea lamprey has a body shape like a eel. It is jawless and with round sucker like mouth that opens wider then it’s head.

Sharp teeth are arranged in a circular row.

They have 7 gill like openings behind there eyes.

Sea lampreys are olive or brown-yellow on the dorsal and lateral part of the body, with some black marblings, with lighter coloration on the belly. Adults can reach a length of up to 120 cm and weight up to almost 2.3kilograms.

The species is found in the northern and western Atlantic Ocean along the shores of Europe and North America,in the western Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea and the shores of the Great Lake.

The largest European populations of sea lampreys are located throughout the south-western areas of Europe.

The lamprey uses its suction cup-like mouth to attach itself to the skin of a fish and rasps away tissue with its sharp, probing tongue and teeth.

A fluid produced in the lamprey's mouth, called lamphredin, prevents the victim's blood from clotting. Victims typically die from excessive blood loss or infection.
Lampreys are considered a delicacy in some parts of Europe, and are seasonally available in France, Spain, and Portugal. They are served pickled in Finland.
