Posts Tagged ‘Cool Animal of the Day: The Gulper Eel’

The Gulper Eel is also known as Eurypharynx Pelecanoides, which coincidentally is the sound my Uncle Leroy used to make when he sneezed. The Gulper Eel can unhinge its jaw to swallow animals much larger than itself, which comes in handy when chowing down in the deep sea. It can also stretch its stomach to accommodate its prey. Fun fact: The Gulper Eel has a light on its tail that attracts other animals, and when they head toward it, the next thing they know they’re dinner. That’s nature just doin’ it up big per usual. Anywho, Gulper Eel.
