Moray Eels Fight to the Death!

This Yellow Margin Moray gets the best of the Yellow Head Moray in this battle to the death in south Maui.

[@fredjonson5781]

I respect the smaller eel for trying to blind the bigger eel, even thought the smaller eel was ripped in half at that point.

[@hughjasse4047]

I'm amazed at the large eel's defense strategy of knotting itself continuously to prevent the other eel from getting a good bite in.

[@KG-qm7pb]

Clearly not it’s first rodeo

[@muslumkucuk9273]

Absolutely, but he though he was safe after the small one was close to give up and he stop knotting... And small one bited his head/chin... but the winner is clearly seen :)

[@SPFLDAngler]

That's not a defense. They do that to tear apart their meal. They can't cut up their food or get any leverage to rip chunks off. They have to knot themselves and push their body/pull their head in order to get a bite of meat.

[@RagingSovereign]

@@SPFLDAngler That might be the primary purpose for their normal prey but the video shows it is an effective defense against another aggressive moray eel.

[@SPFLDAngler]

@@RagingSovereign not really considering the thing was taking bites out of it's head while being attacked. The knots didn't help against that

[@sidewaysvertical2138]

I was taught very young when I dived for lobsters to NEVER reach under a coral head because of large Moray eel's...They will take your hand off at the wrist in 5 seconds flat!!....Instead I use mops to tangle the lobster into and it, twisting the torso from the tails and bagging the prize!!....I always keep an eye out for HammerHeads/Big Barracuda sea snakes and MORAY EEL!!....Even though I saw a diver who could touch/pet and feed W/O injury a Huge Moray he developed a friendship with after many years of interaction!!...But that is NOT THE NORMAL THOUGH!!...have respect for MORAY and give them space or you will REGRET IT!!

I'm like why isn't the little one fighting back. Then he bites the other eel right on the eyes and locks in deep. OK, he tried.

[@illuviium]

You know what’s really sad? Halfway through the video you could see that the small eel was basically getting thrashed in half but he kept fighting and biting his opponents face. Assuming he did escape, he’d be either dead shortly after or just be swimming around with half its body hanging on by a thread

[@kayz3947]

They were fighting over a parking lot apparently.

[@richcampoverde]

A truly epic battle let us acknowledge the fallen eel he was valiant and brave who died a heroes death
