I'm sorry. If I told you what happened you wouldn't believe me, unless you
own a cat who likes computer keyboards (but this was the first time she hit
the "send" button...).
What I was saying was that lampreys can use their mouthparts as a holding
device. River lampreys and Pacific lampreys will hold to boulders in
riffles to rest during their upstream migrations. Chris' mention of them
bumming rides on other animals is interesting-- I wonder when and why they
do this.
