Weird Animals: Giant Moray Eel


Transcript

NARRATOR:

This scary fella is a Giant Moray Eel.

It likes to hide among reefs and rocks.

It can grow as long as 13 feet.

Did you know it has a second set of jaws in its throat?  The jaws grab prey and drag it in to eat.

I think we can all agree ­– that’s one weird animal!

Transcripción

NARRADOR:

Este amigo que da miedo es una morena gigante.

Le gusta esconderse entre los arrecifes y rocas.

Puede crecer hasta casi 4 metros.

¿Sabías que tiene un segundo juego de mandíbulas en su garganta? Le sirven para sostener a su presa y tragarla al comer.

Creo que todos estamos de acuerdo, ¡es un animal raro!
