Moray Eel

After dragging myself out of bed this morning and trekking down to the shore I was pleasantly surprised to see a Chainlink Moray Eel. This specimen was approximately two feet in length and was seen in a five inch crevice between two rocks. Dante, the island chef, claimed that it was his pet that was always present when fish were being cleaned. One time it launched itself onto the ground and attempted to haul a 30+ pound fish back into the water. It was ultimately unsuccessful, but to his surprise managed to move it a few inches closer before receding back into the water.
