There's really no point in showing the whole fish when the mouth is this ugly. Behold the nasty rictus of the lamprey. This horrific fish puts other parasites to shame. These animals are the scourge of aquatic life, and would kill me via heart attack if I saw this maw coming my way.
Thank you, Joe, for sending us these photos. You have a true eye for ugly.
