Wolf Eels

The fearsome looking wolf eel may not look so fearsome when you learn about their faithful lifestyles, where the bond between two eels around the age of four begins. Before laying eggs together the wolf eels spend three years together, and when ready lay eggs in a submarine nest, which is devotedly guarded by both parents. One babysitting whilst the other gathers food, taking it in turns. Newborns spend their first few months consuming plankton before graduating to the adult diet of mussels and clams, swimming freely until it’s their time to settle down with a partner. Wolf eels are not as aggressive in behaviour as their appearance suggests, only receiving their bad reputation by scuba divers that often disturb a nest full of eggs and are left snapped at by the care of the parents.
