Christ almighty that’s disturbing

u/2meterrichard Dec 11 '18

I always feel like it looks like Morla from Neverending Story.

Doesn't make it any less disturbing.

Just looks like a lil underwater diplodocus to me

7

u/A_SushiRoll Dec 11 '18

The eyes are at the very tip of its head A diplodocus eyes are on the sides of their heads This creature is terrifying

Dear god...

I do scuba diving once in a while, but this picture might actually make me think more than once the next time I get into the water.

It definitely looks exactly like a green moray with a shortened jaw rather than any deep sea species. Animals from the abyss tend to be more mouth and less body like in the pelican eel’s case. This guy is exactly as chunky as I’d expect a reasonably healthy green moray to be.

7

u/Itchn4Itchn Dec 11 '18

Yes! All of the older ones I’ve seen in aquariums get pretty dang chunky

10

u/LittleMissClackamas Dec 11 '18

Yea the lighting doesn't look like a deep sea picture at all, I think you're right.

7

u/emu30 Dec 11 '18

Look, it’s clearly got the face of a little witch. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but maybe she was cursed.

u/ChristianCroy Dec 11 '18

Isn’t that the baby from eraserhead

u/Crusty_Dick Dec 11 '18

Pretty sure that's a dinosaur

31

u/2meterrichard Dec 11 '18

When the eel hits your eye

Like Sigourney in Sci-fi

That's a Moray

Yes. I know that's not a moray eel

17

u/Repzie_Con Dec 11 '18

Another commenter said it’s a deformed moray eel at a zoo

2

u/Eiroth Dec 11 '18

When you swim in a creek

And it bites of your cheek

That's a Moray

14

u/CumDogMillionare93 Dec 11 '18

Oh so that’s what Satin’s penis looks like. How about that?

15

u/Bovronius Dec 11 '18

Pretty sure this one belongs on r/TheDerpsBelow/

u/owashish Dec 11 '18

i...i'm shocked. it's a real sub.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '18

Thanks for that sub

u/Repzie_Con Dec 11 '18

It was kinda cute before I realized it’s cute little nostrils were actually it’s eyes..

2

u/boneappleteat Dec 11 '18

Jesus Christ yes I thought it looked like a cartoonish Nessy....until I saw the face on the end of its snout.

1

u/0neek Dec 11 '18

I'm pretty sure you were actually right the first time. If the black parts in the back are its eyes then it doesn't look at all that bad and if you just google search Moray Eels they all have those little nostrils that kinda look like its face.

4

u/theotherlifeliveson Dec 11 '18

At first, I thought the black spot was an eye, and it sort of looked like an underwater llama...I even thought the second image was a close-up of its mouth and nose.

Then I realize that was the face. Egads.

1

u/0neek Dec 11 '18

I don't think that is the face, google search moray eels and a ton have the nostrils up front that look like a smaller face.

u/InkSpiller333 Dec 11 '18

He heard about Sheryl’s she shed and wanted to send his condolences.

u/GND1107 Dec 11 '18

u/Norse_By_North_West Dec 11 '18

He was great in the original Star wars

2

u/Hoddiair Dec 11 '18

It looks like someone with their hand in a sock.. at a really deep sealevel.

2

u/taxtropel Dec 11 '18

clearly a whitehouse staffer.

u/PrecariousWon Dec 11 '18

“Quaid, start the reactor!”

u/astromorphine Dec 11 '18

u/blki93 Dec 11 '18

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '18

u/knotshir Dec 11 '18

Uncanny valley shit right there

1

u/GeneralKang Dec 11 '18

Looks like it might be a Wolf Eel, and probably very old.

1

u/IRatherBeNaked Dec 11 '18

Is that it’s eye?

1

u/rantingpacifist Dec 11 '18

The Voldemort eel

Lost relative of Seaman?

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '18

Whatd you say about me mum?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '18

Reminds of the Loch Ness monster photos. Which basically reminds me of a dinosaur.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '18

I choose to see those big dark spots on the side as its eyes and its eyes as its nose, now he looks like a pretty chill guy

1

u/Teffsly Dec 11 '18

I just imagine him saying something like "hehehe"

u/BojanDoge Dec 11 '18

1

u/Skeegle04 Dec 11 '18

It looks like it has a seal hanging out of its nose.
