sweetie, it’s really not that hard to figure out

[screwyouandrew]

Eels are absolute gods among animals.

for example:

You’ve got your nice beautiful speckled eels

You have wiggly poke-their-little-heads-out-of-the-sand friends!

Look!!!! This one looks like a puppy!!!!

You even have friends with fearsome teeth!! (feat. shrimp)

And they look funny from the front!!!!

But do you want to know the supreme kings among eels?

Ribbon eels.

Let me demonstrate.

aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

*screams multiply*

*blood curdling screams of the damned*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

thank you for your time

Oh yeah, we have content that will give your friend all the eels:

Do you know about the gringills from super Mario Galaxy? This enemies always scared the hell out of me and I was wondering if you knew what species of eel they're based from, cause I've never seen eels in real life that look like that. Are they just original designs?

They are, in fact, almost exactly like a real deep sea fish, Gigantura, and I CANNOT POSSIBLY PREPARE ANYONE for how stunningly fucking fantastic they really look.

I think that is in fact my single favorite face on our entire planet

the fact that moray eels have a pharyngeal jaw that they can just…..move from the back of their throat is pretty fucking awesome but also terrifying. moray eels are filed under “sea creatures who i respect from a distance and that distance being on land from behind my computer screen”

[silverhawk]

crab: ah fuck im in a bit of a conundrum, maybe if i wiggle i can-

moray eels pharyngeal jaw: no

When you’ve just finished mixing up all of the clothing size labels at hot topic

[relatablepicturesofeels]

When your hubris gets the better of you and you end up halfway through a new article of clothing you thought was the right size and just barely isn’t, but you tried it on anyway and now you’re in a position where you can no longer blame the foul saboteur that switched the labels for the fact that it will require three dressing rooms worth of space and the jaws of life to untangle you from this 100% machine washable prison.

and yet you soldier on, grim-faced and determined, because the color matches your eyes, and by god, you’re gorgeous enough to pull the look off even if you’ll never be able to physically pull it off of your body after

You ever get so into whatever you’re doing that you just kinda forget to breathe, and then you manage to get knocked out of that state of flow and all of a sudden expel all of the stale air that you’d been subconsciously holding onto, and with it, all of your worries and fears for the immediate future? This isn’t that

This is the opposite of that

How did the gulper eel get its name? It’s easy to see here! The crew of the E/V Nautilus spotted this gulper eel (Eurypharynx pelecanoides) while exploring the deep waters of Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Marine Sanctuary. Gulper eels’ mouths work similarly to pelicans’, growing bigger rapidly so they can scoop up prey.

Need to see it again, more slowly? We’ve got you covered.

[Video description: A gulper eel “inflates” its mouth while floating near the ocean bottom. GIFs are slowed-down parts of the video.]

[bogleech]

OH MY GOD we’ve got the FIRST EVER actual live footage of a gulper eel!!! All previous videos have been of dead specimens floating around in tanks. Nobody ever knew until now that they might float around with their mouth inflated like a goofy balloon like this. It starts to “billow” mid-way through the video because of the deep sea rover’s jet stream and it puts up with that for quite a while before it finally gets too annoyed.

@bunjywunjy if you haven’t already seen this!

I can’t believe this is a real creature that lives thousands of feet under the sea, doing impressions of My Chemical Romance album covers and living his best life

I was reading about Japanese seafood and came across a type of conger eel called Anago ( 穴子 ).

Literally translated from Japanese into English, the name means “Hole Child”.

I was a little confused until I saw this image.

rb if you are also a hole child
