Video: Moray Eels!

Mrs. Yollis spent a lovely vacation in Hawaii.

 
 While snorkeling there, she got to  swim with sea turtles
In addition, she encountered moray eels on the coral reef from time to time.  Below is a video Mr. Yollis took of two separate eels. 



Here is a link from Enchanted Learning with a diagram of an eel and some interesting information.

Mrs. Yollis noticed that whenever she saw an eel, the peacock grouper was usually nearby. Therefore, whenever she saw a peacock grouper, she would stop swimming and look for an eel. Since she returned home, she's done some reading, and it appears that the groupers and the eel hunt together! 

 

Do you have any fun facts to share about eels?

Have you ever snorkeled? If so, what did you see?
