The Moray Eel is a type of elongated fish found in warm, tropical waters around the world. They are known for their distinctive, snake-like bodies and can vary in color and pattern, often featuring spots or stripes. Moray eels typically inhabit rocky crevices and coral reefs, where they use their sharp teeth to catch prey such as fish and crustaceans.
Moray eels have a unique feeding mechanism; they can extend their pharyngeal jaws to grasp and pull in prey. While they may appear intimidating, they are generally shy and prefer to stay hidden in their habitats. Some species can grow quite large, reaching lengths of up to 13 feet.
