My nightmare

Does this scare you? It does me, because I know what is on the other end of it, and it ain't pretty.
I mean, really, have you ever seen anything so awful? Me not so much, and I have to admit that even looking at these shots is making my heart beat faster than it should. These scare the hell out of me. He is a green moray eel--they grow up to eight feet in lengh and weigh up to 70 pounds. They are pretty lazy, they lay around and wait for things to come to them to get eaten...an eel on the ground or hiding like this I can deal with better than other eels who go around in the water--there ought to be a law, I tell you. That is some dangerous business--you can avoid hiding eels by not sticking yourself or your parts where you do not belong, but those going around eels can sneak up on you. The day that happens may be the day I have the big one.
If the picture of this SOB's teeth does not get your heart going, there is something wrong with you. I am not kidding, I feel a hyperventilation coming on. For real. I learned in Bonaire that when they open their mouths big and show their teeth, it is not really a threat to bite you,but rather how they breathe. Whatever the cause of it, it has to stop. I cannot take it.

Also contrary to popular belief, their bite is not poisonous--but will likely give you an infection. I am still avoiding such things, thanks. They have few to no natural predators--even scarier things want nothing to do with them.

I need a drink I think, just from posting this. I am not scared of much, but a giant man-eating squid (Humboldt squids in the Sea of Cortez where I will NEVER go), rats and the eel pretty much do it.
