Eels Have Been Found Living and Feeding On Blood inside the Heart of Sharks

There’s an emotional verse in The Mighty Bush’s Isles that goes something like this: “Eels inside the year, they look for the entrance wherever they can.” This pseudonym seems to apply to one species above all others: the Snowbound Isle (or pug nose eel, Simenchelys parasite), which has been found in all kinds of places, including the hearts of sharks.

In 1997, the Journal of Environmental Biology of Fish published a particularly narrow account of the heart-aging tricks of sniffed yolks. It was investigated in 1992 that the 395-kilogram (871 pounds) shortfin described the isolation of the mako shark. Researchers were surprised to find the dead, a kind of horrible kinder, but otherwise two risky healthy corpses. As a kind of horrible kinder to surprise, the researchers were surprised to find the dead but otherwise the healthy corpses of two desperate eels. After some isolation, and analysis of the contents of the abdomen of the eels’ logs revealed that they had long lived inside the heart of the macaque to eat some blood. A similar observation was made in a 2006 study published in the journal Fisheries Environmental Science. In this example, a snubnosed eel enters the heart of a small-toothed sand tiger shark. They say butterflies in your stomach are signs of nerves, does anyone know that they represent eels in your heart?

It was not immediately clear exactly how the eels turned into the hearts of the sharks, although some isles were still seen entering the body of their attacker in an attempt to escape after entering the abdomen alive. It is found in the eels of snakes, (aptly) also known as the old eels, whose dreaded remains are found inside the body cavities of 11 different species of predatory fish. These animals are characterized by a stiff tip of their tails that they quickly carved in reverse along the shore. This same tail allows them to burst from the stomach of the eating fish just to get stuck somewhere else in the body cavity.

As part of #EelOrNoEel, Fish wrote about a trending challenge on Twitter, the director of natural history, the Alabama Museum, and #TeamFish enthusiast John P. Friel, “ true eels “Adolescents eat [snubnosed eels] in copepods and amphibians, while adults look like dirt dumps and use their strong jaws to tear off some of the flesh from carcasses. They can also be ‘fascinating parasites’ that opportunistically enter sick and dead fish.  As can be seen in the tweet above since Snubnosed yells can eat more than cookie-cutting sharks, as they bite round plugs of meat and twist their bodies at high speeds to snatch it from dead animals, can be seen in the tweet above.
