I’ll just come right out and admit that I missed the pun until this comment. Really really makes me want to go back and see what else I missed in his videos!
"Wetzel's Pretzel. Which is the name of an eel sex position, btw." I don't know how Ze Frank keeps coming up with these hilarious lines, but I hope he never runs out.
What’s funny is that most fish have pharyngeal jaws, likes it’s actually pretty common since a lot of fish have that “okay now how do I get you in my belly” problem
You joke but like if you actually managed to get to the sargasso sea at the right time to catch eel mating season you'd probably be lauded for it, we've never seen them mate in the wild and it's only been a few months since we finally got any sort of confirmation they were going there. The whole "being in the open ocean" thing would be scary but the eel nerds would be very excited to hear what you saw.
@@Sepi-chu Yeah, not for novice divers. More like trimix rebreather divers, a very small subset of the world's divers. (I've done both individually, but not combined, yet). The dives would still have to be kinda short affairs, as decompression obligation would stack up very quickly. I'd have to check the software and build a dive profile, but I'm thinking 30 minutes on the bottom would result in a total dive time of around 4 hours, at least half of which would be spent at 3-6m/10-20', and would be on the ragged edge of how much oxygen load you can take, CNS and OTUs both.
"When an eel has a maw, with a second set of jaws, that's a moray" Or, as Ze Frank would put it. "That is how the Moray do." Thanks for the learning & laughs.
4:50 and what’s crazy is that Morays and groupers are not the only pair of long and stocky fish that team up to hunt. I have seen freshwater American eels work with smallmouth bass to flush prey from underneath rocks. Interesting how certain specific interactions seem to repeat themselves in other species.
the same kind of interaction of humans and wolves at the beginning, i can imagine. slimmer, more versatile in movement, and longer-stamina humans pairing with the muscle, tracking and speed of wolves.
Some dams have built fish ladders that allow fish to bypass the dam without closing and a few have 24/7 live streams here on YT from the ladder's viewing panel. Umpqua is a popular one and now is the time of year when certain salmon species are migrating so the ladder has a good amt of traffic!
If I am not mistaken that is being done in The Netherlands, and I am not 100% certain, but I thought that was done in order to avoid the eels going extinct - because the Dutch want to eat them.
Another thing about American eels: they're escape artists and can slither out of any tank they're in, even pushing the lids off. It's also impossible to hold them because they're so slippery. I do think they're handsome fellas, though and hope they can bounce back from their population crash.
Its amazing no one knew how the hell eels actually reproduced till 2022, I honestly thought we werent ever gonna find out till it turns out the damn eels go thousands of miles to their mating grounds to get it on lol. Crazy
Maybe for freshwater eels, but many other species have been observed breeding, and even bred in captivity. Aquariums were breeding morays in 2014, and garden eels reproduce readily in home aquaria.
The delivery on "Negligent." was superlative. I felt slapped across the face. Powerful intonation of just one word to shame all of eel-kind. Great work!
"I could show you anything here." That got a good belly laugh cuz I've long contended to my wife that he(You, Mr. Zefrank) could really put anything on the screen and more than half of us watching ain't going to question it😂
@slwrabbits I believe it was something like a goblet cell that he had up there. I was studying to be a histotechnician up until Covid hit, shut down my college's histo program, and I ended up moving before it opened again.

I want that character in your profile picture to sit on my IAP while I play with its snout, chin, and the mouth. I would open its mouth with my hand before sticking it in there to play with the creature's teeth. This would be most fun since it demonstrates the action of trust. At any given moment, this grey reptile-like creature could chomp my hand. If it does bite my hand then the potential injury would be entirely my fault. However, if it does not bite then that will tell me that it enjoys me playing with its tongue as much as I enjoy doing it. I picture my hand getting covered in its slobbery saliva that I could rub on my body.

I was going to say the same thing 😂 I audibly said, next to my wife who is sleeping, 'I'm sorry, what the fuck you just say?' my wife bolts upright. What? Whats the matter? Did you know eels hunt on land? She paused, realizing fairly quickly what I forgot. I was wearing headphones. I was actually shouting. I in fact woke up the house. 😂😂😢
Me and my sister went to bristol aquarium (UK) and were blessed enough to walk by the garden eels just as they were being fed a shit ton of food, it was so adorable to see them fighting and sticking out. It was probably very violent to them but rediculously cute to us lol.
There was a New York band in the 1960's known as the Holy Modal Rounders; a spinoff group was the Moray Eels, and one record was titled "The Moray Eels EAT the Holy Modal Rounders". The revolving cast of members included playwright Sam Shephard and famed guitarist Jeff Skunk Baxter, later of Steely Dan and the Doobie Nrothers.
Now O want an index of all the animals accurately described by the sentence "One day they get the gonads and that's when the trouble starts." Because I feel like it applies to a lot of invertebrates and sea creatures.
Literally every insect that goes thru metamorphosis. From cicadas to mayflies, life goes from months/years of chilling as a big bebe to suddenly having mere hours/days to find a mate. 😅
To the tune of "That's Amore": If you're feeling an eel and it's biting your heel that's a moray. If it slithers and slides as it swims through the tides, that's a moray.
Moray eels always look like they just finished a joke and are waiting for the audience to laugh. "...and then the priest said "These aren't my pants!" Aaa? Aaa?"
@@Lucifersfursona You just reminded me of a kids' book where the main character, because her dad is a preacher, got saddled with Johna. (Matthew, Mark, Luke, girl? Stick an -a on the end, I'm committed to this bit.)
Badgers and coyotes actually do something similar! Coyotes are fast enough to catch prey that runs in the open, like groupers, and badgers can follow prey through dens and holes, like eels!

I’m so glad I found this channel. By far the greatest nature commentary in existence. 😂 Then you mention Crossgates Mall?!? Some of my fondest memories are in that mall back in the early 90’s… Had an epic 4-story Macy’s with the weirdest expensive tech stuff on the top floor, and a sweet arcade. Do you remember when Dick’s was placed right above a store called “The Whizz”?! Good times.
Anyone who _DOES_ tire of them... is *not* someone I care to be around! Thankfully, we're all in good company down here in Ze Frank's comment section. 🍻
I think I heard somewhere that gulper eels are so adept at swallowing food that's larger than their own bodies that it's a legitimate concern it might decay inside their stomachs before it can be fully digested.
Demon-possessed tonsils! You were the kind of teacher we all desired and adored as the best possible treasure a student could locate. You are the ideal! Your mind seems always thinking so fast that is jet propelled, leading a magical circus of thinkers, tumbling acrobats who went where ever imaginable to think faster and do more leaps chasing words, than anyone could even imagine, but children, of all ages, found it addicting, and mesmerizing to see it done with such delight, clarity, and amazement! Words are spring-loaded the way they attach to ideas, and bloom gloriously
Well, I definitely didn't have "Ze Frank is the first person to explain those weird blue spirit worms in the Elden Ring DLC" on my bingo card, but here we are.
Wow - Crossgates Mall reference smacked me hard. I was 13 when it first opened, and within a couple of years I was biking from all the way over in Scotia, NY to Crossgates with high school friends. It has since doubled in size - the theaters used to be at one end of the mall, now they're in the middle. Just odd to have it pop up from Ze Frank. But now I see he's from Guilderland, and just a year younger than I am. We were probably hanging out at Crossgates at the same time. 🤣
I've had several smaller morays, snowflake and ribbon eels plus some cute freshwater eels in tanks....and occasionally out (being good launch jumpers). Feeding time for the snowflake was always fun. I'd hold a peeled king orawn above the water and he'd work out the knots he'd have to tue himself in to get the job done....sensational watching them.
The grouper-eel relationship is amazing! Also, the pelican eel segment made me realize I miss your clay models - they were so wholesome. Love you so much Ze! Love from New Orleans ♥️⚜️♥️⚜️♥️⚜️♥️
I love how I now know Zefrank is watching the same NOAA broadcasts as me. 😂 Those NOAA commentators are pretty frickin funny, too, for a bunch of nerds with science degrees! ❤❤❤
5:50. The Pharyngeal jaws on larger morays are no joke. There used to be a vid of a diver feeding a moray that he kept visiting. The eel gets too excited and rips his thumb right out. You can even hear the pop followed by a watery scream.
Your videos are the best. I seriously think these should be used in classrooms. They are informative, entertaining and quite funny. Keep up your amazing work!!!

I had no idea eels and grouper fish developed their own language to hunt together
I think there are a few land predators that do similar things. I seem to recall coyotes and badgers will occasionally team up.
Also groupers and octopuses. But if the grouper doesn't want to team up, the octopus will sometimes punch them.
I had no idea that groupers could change color patterns like cuddlefish. 🤔
Their just friends going out for brunch
It's like an MMO. "Lvl 50 moray looking for grouper!"
Another thing about American eels: they're escape artists and can slither out of any tank they're in, even pushing the lids off. It's also impossible to hold them because they're so slippery. I do think they're handsome fellas, though and hope they can bounce back from their population crash.

You will say “What the heck?”
There’s a mouth in its neck,
That’s a moray!
I've waited many moons for Frank to talk about eels, I was not disappointed. 10/10.
I love the variety in your content. It keeps me coming back for more. Well done!
When you comment for fun, but all the good jokes are done, that's a moray.
them eels rlly do just be aquatic sock puppets, even got the mouth moves down pat
"I mean, this is the sort of thing you can accomplish as a teenager if you're not distracted by reproductive organs." 😂😂😂 11:43
charles darwin is watching this from the afterlife shaking his fists in the air at his misunderstanding
Can you elaborate?
0:23 😂😂😂😂Well looks like somebody’s had a little too much fun after happy hour🤣🤣🤣🤣 Then again that’s how eel sorry feel after happy hour🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks!
Hits ya right in the eels.
Feels..... feels.
I saw this video pop up and I was SOOO happy!
the way Ze Frank has been on the internet The Whole Time and has always made awesome content is fucking CRAZY
Thank you Arlo for the amazing recommendation! Love the channel!
One of the best channels RUclips has to offer. You can really be proud of yourself ❤
Thank you! This was fun.
"Jery, can we show them that with AI?" Too funny 😁
I refuse to believe that ribbon eels are not hand-puppets.
5:50. The Pharyngeal jaws on larger morays are no joke. There used to be a vid of a diver feeding a moray that he kept visiting. The eel gets too excited and rips his thumb right out. You can even hear the pop followed by a watery scream.
Nahhhh chafing butt was legitimately genius, truly a mastered punchline
Thank you, Ze Frank for yet another amazing, educational, and hysterical video!
The only RUclips alert I'm excited to see and the only channel where youre most excited for the credits 😅
You are so correct, I never realized I always stay through to the end!
5:50 mouth within a mouth, basically an underwater xenomorph
I love watching garden eels at the aquarium! they're too cute!
Also, that 2nd species just looked like a sock puppet.
I left in the middle of a video, I was so excited for a new Ze Frank vid!
That second set of mandibles of that moray eel made me think about Alien… pretty scary
Where do you think they got the idea?
Quite Frank-ly, I'm eel-ated!
Your videos are the best. I seriously think these should be used in classrooms. They are informative, entertaining and quite funny.
Keep up your amazing work!!!
Bless you and yet again thank you thank you thank you ~ for giving such awesome content the unique flair of humor and education for videos of creatures and places rarely seen and rarely shown!
I'm eel-ated, to see another video of yours so soon ;)
