This Moray Eel was not happy about being filmed.
So it was a full on attack.
Luckly there was a video camera between the Moray and me.

  • Mmmh i know what im having for dinner tonight..Fresh Unagi...

  • I will never go in the water due to this animal and snapping turtles, and sharks...and fish with spines...and, oh fuck it all this shit is just terrifying.

  • a moray cant kill a human but it can hurt you with his sharpy teeth but if you grab it with your hands it has no change against you .. a thing that is less than 2 killos is not a threat for a human.I basically see them as small doggs who you 're not familiar with, if you get close to them they react

  • Why did he go in the water without a large knife? If the eel had my thumb I would have cut the things head off and taken my thumb back. In the first place don't stick your fingers near dangerous creatures.

  • @ hoppingBBQ:

    He is a diving instructor in Thailand and he fed the moray everyday with sausages, so the moray became used to divers...Morays cannot see really well but use their very good sense of smell and as he held the sausages with his fingers, the moray thought it is a sausage. I have personally seen the same moray (her name is Emma and she is resident at similan islands) and she is not agressive at all. Treat animals with respect and you will not have such an incident ever.

  • The classic feeding of a wild animal, then getting attacked when it's looking for more food? Seen it months ago, and won't be eating my words over stupidity that goes to such lengths.

  • your going to eat your words when you see "moray eel eats thumb" takes it right off and the guy has his toe replace his thumb.

  • what the fuck it stops at 1 seconmd

  • That's not aggression - I've been around morays enough to see he had his mouth open to try to scare what was scaring him. The eel was scared, and backed into a hole that it felt wasn't deep enough, so it came out and was on its way to a better hiding place. Jesus people, get out there and see them for yourselves. Morays are some of the best creatures in the oceans. Treat them like a dog you don't know, initially, and you won't ever be bitten by them.

  • a mi me dan mucho cague las morenas,en canarias hay muchas en los charcos.
