Peter made some really great pictures. Can to tell me something about the camera and lenses you have used for these photos?
That is really amazing. i wish i could see the eggs hatch. i went there on may 20th and saw some Wolf Eels
Why is it called the wolf eel,
I have a fasination with the wolf sociology and am wondering if these eels hunt in the same fassion or if they live in similar ways as various wolves.
They’re called wolf-eels because of their prominent canine-like teeth. Even though these teeth resemble the canine teeth of wolves (and dogs), they are actually molars that are used to crush their diet of crabs, mussels, and even sea urchins, which they will consume spines and all. They are not gregarious animals as wolves are, rather they co-habit as mated pairs only and the male of the pair will aggressively defend their territory (cave) against other wolf-eels.

The baby eel looks rather cute with a distinct black ring around the eyes.
What are their chance of survival upon hatching?
Simply amazing!
