The stonefish has sharp spines containing enough venom to kill a person—but that doesn't seem to bother this moray eel. | National Geographic

Moray eels generally do not attack humans and are not inherently aggressive, but they will bite in self-defense if they feel threatened or are disturbed, according to Maui Ocean Center. Attacks can occur when their territory is invaded, they are startled, or their poor eyesight mistakes a human's hand for food, especially when they are being hand-fed by divers. #animals #eelfishing #fish | Hendrix backyard TV
