Off the island of Oahu lies an undersea prairie that is home to hundreds of Hawaiian garden eels. Shy creatures found only in Hawaiian waters, these eels only emerge from their burrow to eat zooplankton. They will spend their lifetime in the same spot, trying to avoid the eyes of roaming sharks.

Eel: I won't move my entire life! Also eel: let's have some brutal territorial fights for territory

[@littlewig200]

Something doesn't add up there. Do they move away slightly if they lose the fight. Also they must have other things to fear besides each other. If they never leave their hole surely they'd be very easy prey for anything that can dig them out of it.

[@nithqueen]

@@littlewig200 guess the reason they only exist in these waters is cause there's no crabs willing to get close to em there

[@littlewig200]

@@nithqueen you must be right

[@PotatoeJoe69]

The concept of a fish that will never leave its hole in the sand for it's entire life, no matter what, fighting other fish over "territory" is hilarious to me 😅

[@MrPickles1987]

Real life Digletts but underwater. Amazing and sorta cute.

[@sorensouthard927]

Like they all collectively have immaculate muscular bodies under the soil

[@JanusHoW]

This just in - there's a new Pokemon for Scarlet and Violet that seems heavily based on this animal. Its name? WIGLETT.

[@reemobrooklyn3557]

Sounds like a few of my cousins. lol

[@bamarine247]

What a power move by the tiger shark, circling over garden eels that aren't part its food chain and has no interest in eating, yet just to remind everyone who the apex in the area is.

[@missgoat4468]

Ah yes the shy sea noodle ❤

[@SpaceAceInSubSpace]

I had a plate full of those with a nice Chianti..

[@liviarodriguez4465]

I'm glad and not so glad to be human 1.) I'm glad I'm not part of the food chain bottom teir to be exact. 2.) Not so Glad because to live you need to pay some bills

[@arthurheine5631]

You don't *need* to pay bills. You can go to a barely explored forest and live off the nature or something. No bills, but none of the advantages of society. It's a trade-off not many are willing to take. There's nothing that we can do about it. Human class is high tier and pay to win, 'cause that's how the devs fund the game!

[@pawlstothewall]

If you insist on putting short clips online, at least don't do a jarring end to the clip.
