n. An organism which ingests the blood of other organisms as a sole food source. Although this can refer to such beings as "human" vampires (the undead kind), it is more commonly used in biology to refer to living, blood-consuming parasites or other such [specialised] organisims. The most well-known of documented sanguivores are: a) Vampire bats. Currently the only known mammalian sanguivore. There are three species, though they make up but a fraction of the overall bat population. Nocturnal and unobtrusive even to their prey, they sport [specialised] saliva and tongue structure, and are found in South and [Central America] primarily. b) Leeches, ticks, and mosquitos. These parasitic organisms are probably the most recognizable of the sanguivores, again sporting specialised structure in excretions and digestive systems.
