Bloodsuckers Research Flip Book

The practice by some animals feeding on the blood of other animals is known as Hematophagy. Some of these creatures are creepy and many transmit diseases from one host to another. Some of these animals feed on blood from humans, while others live on blood from other animals. 

Blood is a fluid that is needed for life. Sometimes the creatures that these bloodsuckers feed on, can get very sick due to receiving a disease that has been transmitted or from lack of blood. Sometimes an animal can pass away due to these parasites.
