If you're down by the sea and an eel bites your knee that's a Moray.

When you swim by a rock and an eel chomps your toes that's a Moray!

Stick your hand in that crack? You will not get it back, that's a Moray!

[@evelynlamoy8483]

well it lives in the reef, and has two sets of teeth that's a Moray.

[@ColinTimmins]

lol that ending… ❤😂

[@torinnbalasar6774]

That Morays are mostly harmless surprised me; my mom is from the Cayman Islands, and is absolutely paranoid about the idea of getting to close to one's hole and losing a limb, because apparently once they grab something, they do not let go, and the arrangement of the teeth make it very difficult to tear free.

I was told that about conger eels by my mum.who grew up in the South West of the UK

[@felixmervamee7834]

Progressively watching your older videos and goodness am I glad you kept on with this channel. I love your editing and narrating style.

[@thegalantic6986]

Same here. Love these videos and have been binging all of them. Super educational yet still very funny

[@ASHl33164]

I’m doing the same thing! And I love how the older vids are also basically just as well-done as the newer ones, but you can see the progress she’s made on her videos! (Sometimes when I watch older videos of other KZbinrs, they aren’t as good. Not a problem here 😊)

[@the-frozen-reaper821]

1:18 I initially misread the captions as “you probably can’t tell, but this moray is relatively warm”, “you probably can’t tell, but this moray is pretty cold”, “you probably can’t tell, but this moray is very fresh” and lost my mind 😂

[@kathleenwoods8416]

Misreads are fun

[@mrexists5400]

wheeen the jaws open wide and there's more jaws inside, that's a moray. edit: 9:31 HA!

That song at the end is absolute *chefs kiss* perfection

[@erictaylor5462]

When you swim in the sea and an eel bites your knee, that's a moray. My dad was stationed at the Azores and did a lot of scuba diving there. He say morays all the time but was never once bother by one.

[@ASHl33164]

This video is 2 years old so I’m sure you won’t see this compliment but, girl, I love your nails in that segment where you were turning the pages on your little guide on the wall 💅 I also LOVE your channel!!!

[@Achedb0b1]

Finally a fun channel to learn marine biology with. : 3

[@saladcaesar7716]

I can recommend you other funny and educational zoology channel if you want more. Not specifically marine biology but they do marine biology too. There is Lindsay Nikole, tier zoo, casual geographic

[@lou9511]

​@saladcaesar7716 definitely checking those out!! thanks for the recommendations 😊

[@giselle9917]

for those wondering about the whole tying their bodies into knots i believe that they do it to rip things apart and basically move the knot from the base of their body all the way to their head and use the knot itself to push against whatever it is and pull their head back through the knot thus giving them a lot of leverage by applying force and pulling away at the same time. i’m not a scientist obv, it’s just a theory :)

[@notjebbutstillakerbal]

I love how you kept confusing the Moray Eel with the Xenomorph from ALIEN! XD

[@Gr95dc]

That song at the end caught me off guard 🤣 I subscribed for your most recent video and I'm now on my journey to watch some others and I'm glad this is the second I watched, it is reassuring this is a great channel. Once in awhile the algorithm actually suggest something good huh.

[@shibuyaneko5741]

now i'm thinking about that nyt article, "when an eel climbs a ramp to eat squid from a clamp, that's a moray." the pictures/gifs were captioned: "if an eel wants a squid that's on land, god forbid! that's a moray" "if the squid is too flat there's no problem with that, that's a moray" "if the squid is too big it still eats like a pig that's a moray" (if i made any mistakes that's because i typed those from memory)

[@DeRien8]

Love your sense of humor, wish I had found this channel sooner! I teach kids at a marine science summer camp, but younger ages. Your videos are great inspiration

if you swimm with blood on your heel it was not just an eel. its a moray

I live in Oregon and ever since growing up and going to the coast and seeing Wolf eels, I have been facinated with Wolf eels. They eat sea urchins. That's awesome. BTW omg I love that ending song bit 😂 lol 😆

I very nearly clicked away before seeing the a moray song and my life would have been poorer for it.

What I’ve learned: be prepared to lose a finger when petting moray eels.

[@KenColton]

Wowow. I found your channel recently and been slowly watching through your uploads backwards. I _cannot believe_ this was your second YT upload for this channel. It’s so good and has so much of your what makes current videos great still (unique personality and quality well researched, well presented info). I know creators tend to look back at their earlier stuff and cringe, but I hope you are still proud of this because it’s great and so impressive to me.

[@GraeeWolff]

That outro song was an incredible touch. I'm new to your channel and been binging all day. Amazing and funny stuff!

On petting wild moray eels, I have one thought. If you are okay with the risks, and you will not be hurting in return, then go nuts! Some people just don’t mind loosing fingers or noses or getting scars as a result of this behavior, in which case, I hope you have fun petting those eels!

[@nyuh]

i love how much you committed to the bit lmao amazing video

[@tysonnm5034]

I've known that they had a second pair of jaws for some time, but it is really cool to actually know why they have them.

The song at the beginning is Atlantis by Audionautix. Just in case people were wondering.

I think we were all disappointed in 2020. I had a massive heart attack in 2020 and in the ambulance I wasn't thinking, "I might die" I was thinking "Oh no, they are taking me where all the Covid people are." I did die, but was resuscitated, and I did not get Covid. When my grandmother had a heart attack in 1979 she was in the hospital for weeks. I was in the hospital for 2 days.

[@Alex-kv9un]

I heard a story once about a sunken warship in the pacific. It's very popular among divers and scrappers and over the years has been being slowly dismantled for souvenirs and things like pre-atomic steel which is needed to construct MRI machines. Anyways one time this guy went down there and was swimming through the ship when he found a room full of many many large shiny brass artillery shell casings in a magazine. As he was sitting there wondering how these things had not been looted yet an absolutely massive Moray eel stuck his head around from behind the shells and started to stare him down. Thats why the shell casings had not been looted even by relatively impoverished locals: Because they had been claimed by this enormous eel which was now guarding them like a dragon.

[@magmafeesh1828]

8:48 hah! little did you know that THIS innocuous plug would ALSO date your video! the world is a strange and silly place... Edit: ok, the song at 9:22 really got me 🤣"when an eel reaches out and-a bites off your snout, that's a Moray!" has been a silly version we've sung in my fam for AGES, so hearing a full version devoted to the Moray is delightful!

[@eesachariwala2145]

i remeber seeing an entire wall of coral at least 100m long or longer that was chock full of moray eels... creepy af

[@stormycatmink]

Well, AKTUALLY, the reason moray eels have jaws like a xenomorph is.. well, because a very clever artist/designer knew about moray eels and their fancy throat jaws and designed their titular creature after the eel. But you all knew that.

[@unistrut]

The original Alien was designed by Swiss horror artist H.R. Giger, and in his book describing working on the original Alien film he describes it as a "long tongue like an anteater". The original design didn't even have teeth, it was a much more like a syringe. It also would have been difficult for Giger to have been inspired by the moray eel since Alien came out in 1979 and the extending action of the jaws wasn't truly understood until 2007.

[@kellybraille]
