Where do giant moray eels live?

The giant moray eel (Gymnothorax javanicus), the largest of the moray eel species, is found in numerous places around the world. Giant moray eels are found in tropical and temperate seas across the Indo-Pacific region, from the Red Sea and East Africa, to the Pitcairn group, north to the Ryukyu and Hawaiian islands, and south to Polynesia. They are more likely to be found in shallower waters such as lagoons, reefs and estuarine areas, although there is little to suggest they do not inhabit deeper waters. They are found in tropical and temperate seas.

Can you eat a moray eel?

The moray Eel eats mostly mosses and bacteria just like the chipped-shark, they are bod em feeders at the bottom of the ocean. It also likes to eat shrimp, bactiria, and other more small crasher's. They usually eat slower fish and shrimp because they have bad eye sight well the moray eats fish octopus crabs and shrimp, but its favorite meal is the octopus, a big juicy one. the octopus ties itself in a knot, but it doesn't help, the moray pulls the suckers from its skin. Eventually the moray wins and eats the tentacles and the octopus is gradually eaten alive.

Do eels bite?

Moray eels' heads are too narrow to create the negative pressure that most fish use to swallow prey. Quite possibly because of this, they have a second set of jaws in their throat called pharyngeal jaws, which also possess teeth. When feeding, morays launch these jaws into the mouth, where they grasp prey and transport it into the throat and digestive system. Moray eels are the only animal that uses pharyngeal jaws to actively capture and restrain prey. Larger morays are capable of seriously wounding humans.

First of all, despite its name the electric eel is not an eel but rather a knife fish.It is the only living species of the genus Electrophorus family, therefore making it one among the endangered species.

How do electric eels adapt to the water?

Clearly they do have to mitigate the electrical impulse they receive, or they would kill themselves with their stronger defensive pulses. Unfortunately, it seems no one is really sure how they do this. One idea is that the position of the electric organs (on the flanks) helps prevent the pulse from traveling through the body, but data is sparse.

The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus), is an electric fish, and the only species of the genus Electrophorus. It is capable of generating powerful electric shocks, which it uses for both hunting and self-defense. It is an apex predator in its South American range. Despite its name it is not an eel but rather a knifefish.The electric eel generates its characteristic electrical pulse in a manner similar to a battery, in which stacked plates produce an electrical charge. In the electric eel, some 5,000 to 6,000 stacked electroplaques are capable of producing a shock at up to 500 volts and 1 ampere of current (500 watts). Such a shock could be deadly for an adult human.
