Gulper Eels Look Like Terrifying Sea Monsters
Gulper eels are aptly named – you can see in the picture how big their mouths are relative to the rest of their bodies! Like other eels, they look like underwater snakes, with long, slender body that allows them to swim freely through the ocean.
What sets these creatures apart is that their massive mouths can swallow prey the size of an adult human. They are about six feet in length, about the size of an adult male, and may have evolved such largemouths to enable them to consume more food during times of scarcity.
