They are famous for their strong and sharp teeth with glass-like teeth and tooth lengths that can reach several centimeters. Because the head of Moray eels is quite narrow, they cannot create negative pressure to swallow bait like many other fish species. So Creator gave them a second tooth in their throat. When they swallow the bait, the second tooth will move into the mouth to catch and put the prey into the stomach. (Photo: Daily Mail)
