Moray eels have a unique dental setup – they have two sets of jaws! Critter Republic Dive Center Their outer jaws are like what you'd expect in most fish, but inside their throat, they have a second set called pharyngeal jaws. These inner jaws can extend forward to grab prey and pull it down the throat. They're like something out of a sci-fi movie! #ocean #eel #marinelife | Critter Hunter

This is the double jawed, giant moray #eel! They prefer reef habitats, like Flynn reef, and are generally considered to be solitary (and sometimes secretive) animals. (🎥 by Jacinta Shackleton) #MarineMonday | Discovery

Did you know that moray eels have a second set of jaws in their throat to help them catch prey? These jaws, known as pharyngeal jaws, can extend forward and grab prey that the eel has already caught with its main jaws. It's like having a secret weapon in the battle for food! 🐍🐟 📸 IG 'peter.a.boshra' | PADI
