Bony jawless fish, such as lampreys and hagfish, and cartilaginous fish, like sharks and rays, share similarities in being part of the broader category of jawless vertebrates. Both groups possess a primitive body structure and lack true jaws, relying on suction or other means to feed. Additionally, they both have a cartilaginous skeleton to varying degrees, contributing to their flexibility and adaptability in aquatic environments. Despite these similarities, they belong to different evolutionary lineages with distinct characteristics.
