Lizard king (Stinkersmell)
Moray eels (family Muraenidae) have a hidden weapon that’s always ready for fire. They’ve got two sets of jaws.. Less is more doesn’t seem to apply here, eh? Their first set of jaws, clearly visible with an open mouth, are lined with piercing teeth curved backwards working to prevent prey from backing out of the mouth. As if this wasn’t terrifying enough for the prey, a second toothy set of jaws, called the pharyngeal jaws, lunge forward to snap and drag the prey into the esophagus for digestion. Located behind the eel’s skull, they can advance almost to the full length of this skull. Although they’re not the only animal with two sets of jaws, the moray is the only known vertebrate using this unique innovation in such a successful way, making them possibly one of the most fearsome predators in the sea.
Is it even real?!
