Lamprey have a well developed sense of smell which they use to locate prey. Lamprey attach to their prey using a toothed sucker disc and rasp away with a file like tongue so they can feed on the blood.

Lamprey chew a hole in the fish and suck the fish insides for nourishment. The fish get weak and die from infection, or from the wound.
