A creepy blood-sucking creature “crawled” ashore and scared the fisherman

A fisherman from the Netherlands found a huge and rare fish-parasite in the lake.

It is noted that Thomas van der Es was fishing on a lake in Blisboch National Park and noticed birds circling over one place on the lake. Later, the man noticed that a giant creature resembling an eel had come up from there.

A man photographed a monster and sent it to scientists.

Researchers found that the fisherman discovered a rare parasite – sea lamprey. People see these fish once every 10-20 years.

The sea lamprey has an eel-like body without paired fins. Its mouth is jawless, round and sucker-like, and as wide or wider than the head; sharp teeth are arranged in many consecutive circular rows.

Lampreys have hundreds of sharp teeth with which they dig into fish and suck out blood until they die.
