The Medes Islands are known as one of the best destination of the west mediterranean; A haven for groupers, it is easy to see dozens in just one dive!
During a dive in the shallows, a grouper seemed to be waiting for a moray eel to show up, where as the latter refused its attention! What happens next is interesting...

Fun fact: This is actually a grouper inviting the eel on a hunt. The eel chases the fish out of cracks and the grouper gets the catch, but if the fish runs into a dead end in the cracks the eel gets the catch. It’s a phenomenon not seen Often in The Animal kingdom. very few species rely or interact with another species in such a way to hunt. Very few cases recorded, approximately less than 20 are accounted for world wide. Dolphins and fisherman play this same game but I forget which continent, think Asia. Dolphins chase the fish to the fisherman’s nets and the fisherman feed the dolphins with some of the catch.
Africa
I have seen coyotes and hawks hunting in the same manner....
Ay
I'm from Asia (Indonesia)
😂 The eel is annoyed. Like "Get away from me you big dummy. You're scaring away all the prey!"
i read they actually hunt together, which makes sense, the eel is save from large predators and the grooper might get a piece of the prey the eel makes from catching small fish in holes.
Grouper: Hey, Morray do u wanna Marry me
Morry: We are not same specie...
Grouper: We can still marry:c
Morray: U still here, FUCK OFF!
Right 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how the eel gently pushed the grouper back
Eel: Go away! I don't love you anymore!!
Grouper: Please don't do this, I will make it up to you!
This was before people realize that these two animal are hunting buddies
Groopers eat muray eels
Come on out, I'm hungry so let's hunt?
Little does the eel know that this grouper could open and close his mouth so quick that he would practically be eel spaghetti 😅
"Stalking" i think they where in love 💖
I was thinking an affair. Lots of kissing and Ms Moray buggered off when Mrs Grouper showed up. 😁
H
Keren bng 🔥
The grouper is actually talking to the Eel believe it or not. When a grouper does handstands it's saying "there's prey nearby help me hunt it"
I have personally seen that big groupers and Morey Eels hunt together and share the catch. The big grouper needs the Morey Eel to chase prey out of their hiding place in the rocks/reefs and will then grab them one by one, but does share the prey with his companion, pretty amazing those fellers!!!
Yes that's right! You can see this kind of behaviour a lot with stingrays and trevallys too! Actually it has even a name, it is called "nuclear hunting":

Would be nice to see
@@URZALA1 Video does not exist anymore! Possibly you have an updated link?
@@URZALA1 also sea snakes and trevally
Do you guys see the little fish standing next to the rock? Right next to the grouper, you can see some little scared eyes….
The grouper is still waiting for the Moray Eel. So I heard.

You ever go to your friend's house just going to stare at the fridge knowing there might be something to eat in there?
"C'mon, let's hunt together like you promised yesterday"
“Come on broooo get dressed! we gotta gooo hunting… & your friggin Milking it!!” -Grouper 🐟 “give me 5 more min G” -Eel 🐍
A lot of predators hover over hunting morays hoping the moray scares something up. Trevally do it all the time. Akin to badger/coyote team hunt. Not sure but perhaps the lurking grouper pauses a prey so moray can nab it. Probably it’s the grouper that usually benefits imho.
i think because you have to go to the end of the video to understand that in fact the grouper fish, is not interested in the Moray, but by what is certainly in the breach of the living stone where she was hidden ...
At the end the Moray goes out the stone breach & the Grouper Fish continue to look at the breach in the stone so i think his lunch is under these stone .
The grouper was DEFINITELY interested in the moray
I like the little kiss the Morey gave “big daddy’.
Ocean sweethearts...
Eel was so lucky, grouper wasn't on mode to eat an ocean spaghetti.🤣
Did we just become best friends?! Yup!
I reckon those Groupers will eat anything given the opportunity.....brave eel putting its head near its mouth lol
Thats his land lord people! Hes been dodging for months!
Its either the grouper wants to team up with the eel or the grouper has come into a conlcusion that it can swallow the eel whole.
Wonderful video
nice video, seems like Mediterranean sea
It is indeed, north coast of spain!
Aww cute
Grouper is a very nice fish to eat 🤩
We love to catch them 🏹

Morrays and groupers are friends like tiger and lion that is the reason they hunt together.
Anzar Kunhi tiger and lions are not friends 🤦🏽♂️
They are not actually they live in different countries
The only unknown and surprising behaviour i see here is that the grouper did not run away from divers and remained totally calm ! Very strange because Mediterranean groupers are fearful, when they see a diver, they just run and hide in their hole between rocks.
Wow they r cute in this actions...☝️👍👍😘
Eel: “look buddy!get hell out my face!!”
why do think he is called grouper?? Always trying to form a group!
i read they actually hunt together, which makes sense, the eel is save from large predators and the grooper might get a piece of the prey the eel makes from catching small fish in holes.
My two favorate marine animals!
Feel free to suscribe to Urzala for more upcoming videos!
GooD Video 👍👍
Compared to The Grouper, the Moray is just breakfast. Yes, I think there is more going on here. That " static" on the audio. Is it " reef sounds"?
Wonderful experience video
It's like a junkie begging a drug dealer for a free hit.
yeh or for an extra gram
It wants to go hunting with it's best bud, but eel isn't in the mood.
eat ?
if only this crazy vid had color grading OMG
They're just best friends...
He's trying to tell him let's go get some food and the eel don't want to go nowhere...
Well..... i m still waiting..... what happened next????😩😩😩😩😩😩
They are just playing hide and seek...
I wish ozzy man will see this....hahaha
GOOD PM WATCHING FROM CAVITE 😃💝YOURE NEW FRIEND ON RUclips☺🙏🇵🇭

Damn. I wanted the Morey eel to eat the Grouper.
Vidio good
Buddies for sure
What this video all about...??? Are you pointing as a half crack yourself...?? Who's staking whom...???
😲😀😀😀👍
The Grouper is not stalking the Moray Eell!
Groupies they won’t ever be.

Thumbs down. There was no stalking. Stop clickbaiting.
What you see in the video are animals, "stalking" is just an image, most people get that; this video is clickbait-free
@@URZALA1 You knew EXACTLY what you meant to convey when you used the term "stalking". You wanted us to think the grouper was hunting the eel. It would get more clicks. Totally opposite of what is shown. CLICKBAIT.
@@URZALA1 It's why you have 25% downvotes. Hundreds of other people agree with me.
@@detomaso_6235 Being french I thought the verb "stalking" would describe best this curious behaviour from the grouper; "stalking" has nothing to do with "hunting"; in this example, I'm not even sure what the grouper is doing; maybe you should chill out a little bit and disconnect from you tube ; nobody forced you to watch the video
@@detomaso_6235 oh that's great
Trying to get it to go hunt
Eels and groupers are known for hunting together in the reefs.
No no
OMG 😲
Big
Shoooot man, them there is boyfriend and girlfriend. And the group. Well she's the woman who wears the panties. Cuz the moray, well he just gives her a bit of a wrap around tingling zap sensation and off she goes with a big ole smile on her face. Lol.. oh wait a minute, I don't think the Moray can electrocute you.. oh well, he still does something to her. Something real exciting that we'll never know. We'll never know...
🤿👀👌
Groupers are funny. They remind me of dogs. By far my favorite fish.
The grouper is actually talking to the Eel believe it or not. When a grouper does handstands it's saying "there's prey nearby help me hunt it"
V1per V1R0S Bullshit
its not bullshit man this is some crazy nature shit that really happens.google "eel grouper teamwork". i thought the fish was gonna eat his ass when i first saw this .....but they were communicating!..i dove with some groupers once off curacao.they are huge man,they swim up from the bottom and creep up on you .i was feeding some fish and stingrays and the groupers were about 10 ft below catching all the scraps.they didnt look that big till they got closer.it became an uneasy feelin for real when i saw the big eyes on those fish. then barracudas showed up like silver javelins with teeth shootin thru the water!!!..i got my ass back in the boat quick
I thought they shook their head at the moray
