Five Facts Friday: Moray Eels 1. Green moray eels aren’t actually green; they’re brown but appear green because of a protective mucous around their skin. 2. Moray eels have two sets of jaws and no esophagus. The first set of jaws grasps the prey. The second set of jaws, called a pharyngeal jaw, lies behind the first jaw. It moves forward and grabs the food from the first jaw, then retracts, bringing the food back to the stomach. 3. They have poor eyesight and rely mainly on their sense of smell

Our two moray eels are taking a breather today, tucked snugly into their favourite rocky crevice in the Oceanarium. Amazing fact: that steady “opening and closing” of their mouths isn’t aggression, it’s how morays breathe. They pump water over their gills this way, which lets them stay perfectly still while resting in tight spaces like this. If you spot them doing it on your next visit, you’re seeing one of their coolest adaptations in action. #nationalaquariumofnewzealand | National Aquarium of

Moray eels have a unique dental setup – they have two sets of jaws! Critter Republic Dive Center Their outer jaws are like what you'd expect in most fish, but inside their throat, they have a second set called pharyngeal jaws. These inner jaws can extend forward to grab prey and pull it down the throat. They're like something out of a sci-fi movie! #ocean #eel #marinelife | Critter Hunter
