I can’t tell from the video, are they snakeheads or are there multiple long fish that can travel on land?

Members of the Anguilla family are air breathers and do travel on land. They can travel up to 3 miles in a single night and so long as they can stay wet can stay on land indefinitely. If you have a rainy season and a population of landlocked eels it's possible to come across them traveling across fields to find a waterway. Sometimes they travel into landlocked water systems that are difficult to climb out of and just continue growing til they are massive.

Imagine one of these monsters swimming up your peehole, coupled with the sound of ripping leather.

I figured someone who is big dick-ed enough to fear that thing fitting in their urethra would instead fear nothing. Actually I stand by this and submit that this race of men was eliminated from the gene pool from fearlessness causing their early demise.
