Always impressive palatine teeth of the moray eel

You're right to say that the teeth of the moray make an impression... especially if you take the photo at 20cm :-) :-D

Very nice Moray eel. I saw them diving, when you approach their den they look at you and open their mouths showing their teeth. They told me they do this to "feel" your smell through the water. Will it be true?
But it's great to see them live. Unfortunately I found a fried one on the plate a few days later at the restaurant ... I'll be trivial but I'm a little' sorry ... :-(

Thanks for the comment. Actually they are fascinating and mysterious fish, I do not know why they open their mouths but when they open it they are a bit scary even if I do not think they want to threaten an aggression. ;-)

When they feel threatened, they will repeatedly close their jaws violently, so much so that a dry noise is heard. It is a signal that it is better not to ignore.

Thanks for your explanation, anyway I'm afraid :-(
