Hello. I am Morrie the Moray eel, a Ty Beanie Baby. Our sponsor, Jeannie's Cottage, has Morrie in stock.
An eel is a fish that belongs to the order Anguilliformes (Apodes). There are both fresh-water and marine eels.
The Moray (family Muraenidae) is a marine eel found frequently in coral reefs. Morays are usually from 1 to 4 feet long, but they can reach lengths of 6 feet. They have a long snakelike body with one long fin running along the body. There is a lot of mucous covering the body that makes grasping an eel very difficult. The skin is thick and leathery.
They hunt for their food at night by smell. The California Moray (Gymnothorax mordax) eats lobsters, crabs, shrimps and a variety of fishes.
Morays are vicious but not venomous. They have powerful jaws armed with knifelike teeth. They can inflict deep wounds when bothered.
There are 14 species of Moray eels in North America.
