Okay, so this is a wool feel. As anything named after a wolf would suggest, they are intimidating master predators. You may see the way this guy chomps down on a sea urchin like it just doesn't even feel its spines on its throat. His teeth are pretty worn down from years after eating stuff like that, including this unfortunate crab.

Wolf eels are about seven feet long, and they live in the North Pacific. Look at the way it just kind of swims through the water; it's kind of captivating, mesmerizing. Then there's this wolf eel and its mate. She's the reddish female you see here. They're about to be parents to an army of baby eels. They kind of look like alien spawn. The female can lay up to ten thousand eggs, but what's unique is that both parents will try to ensure that as many of their adorable little demon offspring survive as possible.

Wolf eels are attentive parents. Both of them will guard the eggs from danger. They take turns, while one stays behind and guards the eggs, the other goes out to hunt for delicious, delicious crabs. It is believed that the wolf eels will mate for life. Now, isn't that just nice? You know, it's nice to hear that, and they will live in the same den for years unless forced out by larger, more horrifying eels.

But anyway, can the producers of this show just let me read a nice butterfly script or something next time? I feel like I'm just getting all of the horrifying creatures that are gonna haunt my dreams. [Music]
