Myxini and Cephalaspidomorphi

Pictures of Me

As you can see from my pictures, I am dashingly handsome. I am such an awesome animal because I possess all of the advantages of having a notochord, but I don’t have one of those annoying jaws. I can open my mouth as wide as I want to show off my teeth.

My HomeI live in most aquatic

environments.When I was young and in the

larval stage, I lived in soil beneath a fresh water stream.

Now I divide my time between streams, rivers, and coastal ocean areas.

When I am not hunting for food, I keep myself buried in beneath the sea/river floor.

My hobbiesI enjoy relaxing in the sand and dirt at the ocean floor.I believe that it is the perfect way to rest after a long

day of swimming. When I get hungry, I take great pride in my parasitic,

predatory abilities. I swim up to my prey and attach myself to them with my

mouth and suck their blood.It doesn’t get much better than sucking fish blood.

Genealogy My ancestors developed

one of the greatest achievements in the history of animals. The vertebral column.

Additionally, my skin has the ability to secrete awesome mucus slime. I use to escape from predators so I can slide away from them.

After I have escaped, I tie myself into a not to clean off my slime.

My Unique AdaptationsWell I already told you about slime and knot

abilities.I have a skull, but lack a jaw (myxini)I don’t have a skull or a jaw but I have cool

teeth and a vertebral column. (Cephalaspidomorphi)

I have a gills but am not a true fish because I don’t’ have scales.

I am so smart that I have two brains. I am such a nice guy that I have four hearts.

Who I am looking for…I am currently looking for a myxini or

Cephalaspidomorphi companion. The gender doesn’t matter because I’ll be able to change my own next season.

I also wouldn’t be opposed to meeting a salmon or other large fish such as a tuna because I am feeling kind of hungry.
