Rare Sea Creature with Ugly Appearance Appears, Surprising Everyone

"Rare Sea Creature with Unsightly Appearance Emerges, Shocking Everyone"

The video of the wolf eel trapped in a crab trap has captivated the internet, reaching 64 million views and counting. The video, posted on TikTok on April 14 by professional surfer and commercial fisherman Matt Rockhold, features a gray creature known as the wolf eel trapped in a trash trap during a fishing expedition in Monterey Bay.

"Rockhold said there is a big fish bone in the eel's mouth when it was brought to the surface."

"Bung, are you kidding?" said a fisherman heard in the background. "That thing is very ugly."

The additional video that appears to have been posted on the same day includes two other wolf eels trapped in a trap. Rockhold, in a comment under one of his videos, said that he "kind of stumbled" when seeing the eel in the trap. When asked if wolf eels like to eat crabs, he jokingly replied, "It's like an underwater crab buffet."

"Users of TikTok, some of whom admitted they had never seen a wolf eel before the video was made, were quite fascinated by this creature. "You showed me something I've never seen in 35 years," said one user to Rockhold."

"Every time I question whether my fear of the sea is irrational, things like this remind me that it is not."

The translation of "kata pengguna lain." to English is "other users' words."

"The Monterey Bay Aquarium says that the wolf eel, although not related to other eels, is one of five species in the family 'wolf fish', although the other four species 'are not very long and slender'."

"Eel wolves grow up to 8 feet, 2 inches and prefer the coral reef habitats scattered along the Pacific coast of North America, from northern Baja California to Kodiak Island, Alaska; and west to Russia and south to the Sea of Japan. Their diet consists of sand dollars, sea urchins, crabs, snails, abalone, clams, and fish. They also eat crabs, which may be the reason many of them get trapped in traps like this."

"However, the aquarium said that wolf eels are usually not targeted by fishermen, like those who carefully return eels to the water in the aforementioned TikTok video."

“They have faces that can only be loved by a mother,” “Their jaws are very strong and if you put your finger in there, you will regret it. But they are very slow. It may look like a fierce eel, but its temperament is completely opposite.”

said Scott Reid, who cares for the wolf eels at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Reid added that the creature is almost mesmerizingly invisible, with aquarium visitors usually getting a good view during lunchtime feeding. Meanwhile, in the ocean, wolf eels live in water depths of up to 740 feet - where they swim in deep S patterns. Imagine a snake slithering on the ground.

Seattle Aquarium states that young wolf eels spend their early lives in open waters.

"After they mature and find a partner, they choose a burrow and usually spend the rest of their lives living in it."

Seattle Aquarium menyatakan bahwa wolf eel muda menghabiskan awal hidup mereka di perairan terbuka.

They may even mate for life. The female can lay up to 10,000 eggs in her nest, where the male and female take care of and protect them for four to five months until they hatch and become adults. Newsweek contacted Rockhold for comment, but this is not the only time a fisherman (or eel!) has made the news.
