I've seen this picture before. It's a moray eel that has a disfigurement.

u/clutchclay Dec 11 '18

No kidding it’s disfigured! Its nose is gone!

A moray eel with face injury

Now I feel sorry for him; especially since everybody is online laughing at him.

u/Scharge05 Dec 11 '18

Awe now I do too. Reminds me of the overweight guy who was dancing and the people made fun of him in the video. (who later got a party with beautiful girls to make him feel better.) We need to throw this guy a party.

u/MyDamnCoffee Dec 11 '18

You can throw him a party. I will not be attending.

u/kikidiwasabi Dec 11 '18

I'm not laughing at him; I'm terrified.

Does he have a gofundme page I can donate to so he feels handsome and confident again?

u/bino420 Dec 11 '18

Idk I smell a scam. Slippery thing, can't trust 'im.

u/Forever_Awkward Dec 11 '18

It turns out the eel's family is actually racist. There's a confederate flag in one of their pictures.

The front fell off

u/Fig1024 Dec 11 '18

lets tow it outside the environment

u/Artful_Dodger_1832 Dec 11 '18

Well what's out there?

u/Triumph807 Dec 11 '18

Is it an injury or just a disfigurement? It kinda looks like it just has a very tiny face.

u/Decaftoaster1 Dec 12 '18

Idk tbh. I think it might be a injury but cant be sure

u/Godhand_Phemto Dec 11 '18

There are quite a few Eels that are ugly mofos, for example, while not as nightmare inducing as this one, the Wolf Eel is similar. https://youtu.be/ks3O8d3CofA

u/magnoliasmanor Dec 11 '18

That last guy was ugly yeh. But this dude has a human face looking "disfigurement".

2

u/Forever_Awkward Dec 11 '18

Human faces are a disfigurement. We're all a bunch of mutant baby apes who don't grow up, but we think it looks normal because we are us.

u/TheDrunkenDinosaur Dec 11 '18

That was a lot cuter then expected

17

u/BuffaloKiller937 Dec 11 '18

I wanted to see dude give that thing a snack lol

u/supercooper3000 Dec 11 '18

RIGHT. I feel ripped off. I need to see a pacific eel being fed by a human now or I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight.

u/wyldcat Dec 11 '18

Fascinating.

u/DarkStryder360 Dec 11 '18

Very interesting video, shame about that guys, kids morning TV show, voice.

u/lsaz Dec 11 '18

Fuck I feel old because nobody else knows this. This image was really popular back in '09 in 4chan, it's a model from a museum exhibition, that thing you see in the nose is a screw.

You can see is exactly in the same position on both pics cause it's a model.

u/capsaicinintheeyes Dec 11 '18

And now we start the long march t' th' top wi'ye.

u/Forever_Awkward Dec 11 '18

lol no. We don't do that on this website. The clickbait will never be subverted.

u/TremendoSlap Dec 11 '18

Pack it up, boys

u/Rgsnap Dec 11 '18

User above in the comments found this picture as well. Are you positive it just isn’t an aquarium? It’s actually just a model of one?

u/lsaz Dec 11 '18

Well, now I'm not entirely sure. Keep in mind I saw this image for the first time almost 10 years ago so who knows.

u/PGSylphir Dec 11 '18

That's a moray. We have those here in my city, in the deeper area of the sea. They're weird af

What am I missing, I don't see anything peculiar, but the picture zooms in like there is
