moray eels
i have succumbed
my friend has sent me a video
and its surprisingly not that bad. idk what i was thinking, they just swallow it down
anyway this has unlocked a hidden memory. i used to watch those videos where people fed rats to snakes. and i remember being terrified of them (there was also like watching them hatch or something? idfk). I didn't even like them though youtube recommended got weird so it was just there and I don't remember why.
how do you think the tweels eat? i mean they have hands now but like
...do you think they have a second mouth
i kind of wonder what it looks like on the inside (of an actual moray eel) like is it just another row of teeth? i think seeing them eat is enough for me today though
but hmmm.
i mean. they have like human-ish mouths now though right? is it really easy to swallow? or maybe they look similar but like the way the body is shaped is different (dont ask me i dont know this stuff) like
cause idk man if i were to try to swallow a fish id choke (i dont actually like fish anyway)
but maybe they have like a different way of eating where they can easily just swallow it without an issue
imagine thats why so many people are afraid of them
or maybe they do in their merman form but as a human they're.. human-y? idk. i want to write it just because but i also dont know in what situation i would (and how to describe it..)

A fine collection of eels (ribbon eel, fangtooth moray, banana eel, and another moray I can’t name)—they’re up on my Redbubble if you take a particular fondness for them :)

Does anyone have that post of the four moray eels sticking their heat out of a rock just chilling and vibing together?

Is it just me, or do this pair of moray eels in the Manhattan Beach aquarium look exactly like Flotsam and Jetsom?

another eel one bcz i love eels. moray eels sometimes look green bcz they excrete mucus to protect themselves from getting scratched when they swim through reefs (they r actually brown)
ALSO frilled sharks have over 300 teeth bcz their mouths have evolved to catch soft-bodied prey like squid (also they kinda look like eels iirc which is funny)
