Fossils of two giant ancient lamprey species were found in China, adding to knowledge of the blood-sucking 'vampire fish.' At 23 inches long, they were 10 times bigger than early lampreys. Their mouth structures suggest lampreys had already evolved parasitism 160 million years ago in the Jurassic period.
