Green Moray Eel

Sydney isn’t short of moray eels. Look closely and their pretty little faces appear all over the place.

It’s a well-known fact that moray eels have a very painful bite – as many an unfortunate fisherman will testify. However, only recently did we discover they actually have not one but two bites! Yes, in true scary science fiction style they have a second set of jaws. They bite their prey with their first set, then a second set of jaws appears out of their throat and drags their victim in whole. Underwater no one even hears the scream. You can’t make this stuff up.
