    I never know where to put animal stories

    Anyways, I love this video. Apparently the Moray Eel has an inner jaw like the creature on alien.
    The eel bites and this comes shooting up its throat to snag the prey and drag it in deeper. Anyone know if other eels are like this?

    Yep, there was an article in the Nat'l Geo mag about it just this month. Pretty neat, huh?
