WHAT DOES HEMATOPHAGOUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hematophagous

Hematophagy

Hematophagy is the practice of certain animals of feeding on blood. Since blood is a fluid tissue rich in nutritious proteins and lipids that can be taken without enormous effort, hematophagy has evolved as a preferred form of feeding in many small animals such as worms and arthropods. Some intestinal nematodes, such as Ancylostomids, feed on blood extracted from the capillaries of the gut and about 75% of all species of leeches, a free-living worm, are hematophagous. Some fish, such as lampreys and Candirus and mammals, especially the vampire bats, and birds, such as the vampire finches, Hood Mockingbirds, and oxpeckers, also practice hematophagy.
