Scientific name: Eudontomyzon danfordi
It is a freshwater
fish, easy to recognize by the cylindrical shape of the body, round
mouth having hard corneous plates resembling a kind of blade-teeth,
and by the lack of pair fins. It can reach 30 cm in length. It hides
in muddy waters and goes out in order to attack other fish unto whose
skin it hooks itself with the help of a round sucker-like mouth.
Then, using its sharps blades within the mouth, it cuts the flesh and
sucks the blood. Mating takes place between April and August. It
populates mountain and submountain rivers.
