Interesting Facts About Lamprey
Here are some interesting facts about lamprey:
Evolution and Origins of Lamprey
Sea lampreys are naturally found in the Atlantic Ocean, as well as Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River.
However, they expanded their presence to the remaining Great Lakes by utilizing man-made canals that circumvented natural obstacles. Their presence was officially documented in Lake Erie in 1921, Lake Michigan in 1936, Lake Huron in 1937, and Lake Superior in 1938.
Lampreys, with their ancient origins, have persevered for an impressive span of 360 million years, surviving through four significant extinction events.
Despite their remarkable resilience, the evolutionary history of lampreys remains elusive and enigmatic.
