Animal of the Day!

Bastard Eel (Gymnothorax miliaris)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Western Atlantic Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- 70 cm

Diet- Small fish; Mollusks; Crustaceans

Cool Facts- The bastard eel, or the goldentail moray, is an active and avid hunter. Once the sun sets, the eel leaves their daytime lair to go on the prowl. When a fish is in reach, the bastard eel snaps forward. Its first set of jaws ensnare the fish and then their second set of pharyngeal jaws deeper in their throat latch on to pull the prey deeper into their mouth. Bastard eels have another name, the banana eel. Most times, bastard eels have distinct, tiny spots while the banana eel morph has larger spots that makes them look like a bruised banana.

Rating- 13/10 (A wiggly, bitey banana that’s a bit of a bastard.)
