re: Bizarre eye-less creature with dolphin-like head washes up on beach in Mexico

Never seen a Moray Eel before?



ETA: Gotta love the downvotes for posting what it actually is.

I think it’s probably a deformed dolphin that went full term and died after birth because it couldn’t swim. Deformities afflict all mammals, including humans.

Agree with one caveat, do dolphins have teeth like that?

You might be too stupid to insult.

What's more likely, that it's a moray eel with mutations that have knocked out development of eyes, a dorsal fin, and skin pigment (and that's just the differences a toddler would notice from comparing the two)? And that such an animal would survive to adulthood in that ecosystem?

Or is it just a different animal from the least explored location on Earth?

We also have no frame of reference of what size it is.

What's more likely is that your stupidity is beyond measure.

You're looking at the dried up beached carcass of a moray eel. The British equivalent to the National Enquirer posts a picture and some BS story and you swallow it all hook line and sinker (pun intended).

Look closer Cousteau. See the eye now? It smaller because it's dried out. You know what else happens to many marine fish when they die? Their pigment fades, darkens and sometimes disappears all together.



There are over 200 species of Moray Eel worldwide, in many color patterns. In the pic, you're looking at the ventral side of the carcass, and the soft dorsal fin of a moray is maybe 1.5" high. This one is dried up so it's much smaller. In other words it's there but from the angle shown you can't see it.

The next time you decide to debate marine life like a fricking keyboard warrior, don't do it with someone with a degree in Marine Biology and 35 years diving experience.

I've actually explored the ocean, have you ever even seen the Ocean? (I doubt it)


One more thing, have an RA.
