Isn't Oregon amazing?!
Meet the Miller Lake Lamprey: the smallest landlocked parasitic lamprey in the world! 👋
This tiny Oregon native, found only in the upper Klamath Basin, has a fascinating (and relatively recent!) story of being persecuted and brought back. Catch our latest Fish of the Week podcast episode (airs later today) to get the full scoop and deepen your knowledge about/appreciation for native lampreys. Our guest is Ben Clemens, Statewide Lamprey Coordinator for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. You can catch this episode (and hundreds of others) on our FWS website or wherever you get your podcasts. 🎣🐟
