It's a video of someone feeding hot dogs to a Moray Eel. I'll let you guess what happens next. If you have a weak stomach, might not want to watch this after eating. Enjoy.

If you want to skip to the juicy part, it's around 3:15.

I'm very sorry that real life is not as dramatic as the movies.

If you turn up the volume, you can hear him scream when he gets his thumb bitten off.

Some of you science nerds may find this interesting. Moray Eels actually have two sets of jaws, normal jaws and a second set called the pharyngeal jaws. Remember Aliens? Like that. Here's a website with a diagram:

And a couple very short videos:

The natural world is full of horrendous critters that refute intelligent design, unless the designer was H.R. Giger. My vote for most hellish animal is the Humboldt Squid. Imagine a 100 pound slap chop that can cut through chain mail and moves in packs of thousands up and down the California coast in what are described as "cannabalistic feeding frenzies".

Theres a forum that posts nothing but the most weird things of nature, from inscents to mammals to cancers and other mutations. They try to show some of the more amazing things from nature aswell, it's manly to inspire artists to create better creatures and animals.

You've maybe seen some before or maybe not but i though you'd might like to take a look. I Found the thread around page 9 and almost threw up by the last post ( the almost full page of spiders really REALLLLLLY got to me.)
But i thought you might enjoy it Adri :)

That was crazy. At least the guy didn't whine about it. And the toe thumb is crazy; I almost wish I had one too!
