I love how well-mannered the gruesome looking fish is. Even my dog is greedier than that!
I love wolf eels so much, they're so adorable and fluffy. And no, I am not joking. They're so gentle.
They look like grumpy old men but as fish. I want 3
@@lukemckenzie0121 same, they're really smart as well
Too many people have the wrong impression, that these guys are “terrifying” but they’re actually quite pleasant. Their appearance, size & apparent lack of fear when offered food, can be intimidating to some but they’re basically adorable, fascinating animals that can offer a memorable experience.
I could watch them for hours.
I have a new appreciation for these now, every other video I've seen has tried to make them terrifying. Seems like an awesome fish to interact with and I can see the blenny in it.
"Oh look at that!.. he's just gone between James, my director's legs.. you're looking a bit worried there James!"
*James looks at camera and nods*
Best ending ever.
the look the fish gives the diver at 0:18 is priceless,
like "are you serious"
I find them amazing, adorable, and down right beautiful. If I had a giant Aquarium (Ok, actually, if I owned a bay or section of the ocean.) I'd have one. Or 20. Just to watch! Such friendly guys.
I feel the same way
Its so beautiful, great footage too.
Love scuba diving with these :)
Aww he is so adorable 😍 im going to give my dnd character a pet wolf eel now!
They arn't actually eels and can be quite gentle. I've cared for one at a Sea Life Center in Alaska, and she let me pet her when she came up to feed. Wonderful creatures.
What does that mean, not actually an eel? What exactly is an eel and what is the wolf eel? Also, are "real" eels aggressive? How does the behavior of wolf eels compare to moray eels?
Wolf eels are technically fish, related to the wolf fish or sea wolves. What defines them is fin placement. True eels have no pelvic/pectoral fins and have a ribbon of a fin in the dorsal region.
Behaviors are mostly the same, both true eels and "eels" (meaning ones who are called eels but actually fish like the electric eel) are gentle, shy and easily frightened. None are really known to be aggressive, only known to be aggressive looking. I hope this helps!

Thanks for explaining so well the difference between fish and true eels.
I've always wanted to know that.
No problem, my pleasure :D
+Sam S An eel is a fish.
I've never seen a fish be willing to interact like that before.
couldnt help but think.. aww how cute.
But what happened to James?!?!
+kali ironhammer
He became Janet.
looks like my wife b4 the makeup
🤣🤣🤣
😁
Mean while your dad bod isn't winning any prizes lol😂
Lmaoo
That's an amazing fish.
That is an amazing animal. I would love to enounter one of those when I go scuba divng.
Looks like a grumpy old man lol "you damn kids!!"
Looks like my grandma when she takes her dentures out. 😭
Daw he’s cute and well behaved
wolf eel: so cute. :)
seems SO much like a Prehistoric Creature of the Deep.
Very interesting.
I Think it was kinda cute.. It's a beauty.. Though This whole film i just wanted to pet him..
Wolf eel slithers between James' legs
"OwO what's this, my new home!"
Hes so brave calling the eel son and stuff.. i would freak out if i saw that
Damn those teeth got it lookin like a British person
This makes my skin crawl
that's one scary looking fish... but it don't look aggressive tho. awesome video
"Harry Potter must be killed... Ooo, is that fish?"
Lol he is making sure he doesnt loose his fingers.
Oh my god I would be terrified. Not like I would go 200 meters down to find this creature anyways.
2 cameras 2 different settings. BOOM!
he better tighten up those fingers, he doesn't want to LOOSE them!
Bane? Is that you?
very cool how docile it is, I suppose deep-sea fish are not accustomed to humans
very amazing. i bet that eel thought he saw god or something haha. never to return and bring free food again...
Its not an opinion he literally says it at 0:56.
I SWEAR he seemed human for a second
*Search UA-cam for 'catfish vs coke'. You won't be disappointed. *
"MAGNIFICENT CREATURE"
hrem...
I saw this eel from saubnautica
So THAT's what it's called in english. Over here it's called stone-bite and is fairly common
they're terrifying D:
this show is so british, even that eel is british
That thing could have starred in a horror movie..
Its just hanging out with you like a puppy
do what?? - I'm talking about 'teasing' the animal - he talking about losing his fingers.
is james ok
Would you look at that.
A wolf eel can bite a two by four in too, in one bite
No he pretty much says it. Pay attention next time.
coooooooooooool
what happened to james?!
Actually remind me of dogs. Would be a fun pet
was I the only one who heard prehistoric park music?
和名はオオカミウオ、かな？
Either very brave, very crazy, or both, to let that thing get near your fingers and balls.....
You would be very brave Miss Vestergaard. Those things have been know to take a man's hand off with one bite......
that's very scary
If this eel can survive on land, I'd rather have this wolf eel than a pug
i read on tumblr its suppose to be the friendliest creature on earth..
then we never saw james again
For sure i do not want to see any of these creatures,or similar, when i am free diving... they are too scary to face them with one breath...
It's Honey Boo Boo's mother
it seemed almost pet like to me...
Wolf eel is so creeeepy!! 😬😬😬
Cliffhanger ending....
I didn't know darth vader likes scuba diving .
That eel is *THIRSTY*
Damn nature...you scary.
why is he teasing the eel?
Isn't it wolf fish
Likealaugh brought me here
Why? Because it didn't try to eat his fingers? Is that what makes a good pet? Get outta here.
oh...another Steve Irwin...
demon fish
That thing looks like a muppet named Statler. Here is a clip of him in action.
/watch?v=14njUwJUg1I
this thing looks mean
lol.. ugly.. but indeed magnificent.
Why is he screaming in his stupid helmet?
he could have commented it afterwards....
i wonder why its called a wolf eel? looks nothing like a wolf...
Why do you care what I care? Leave me alone.
דה טוק
How did it act like a pet? Because it ate the food he was giving it? You can do that to a lot of animals.
No, because it acted like a pet... I thought that bit was obvious. Not to you though, think harder.
美味しそう！！
I wish the eel would bite his fingers off.
That Steve Irwin kind of behaviour is needlessly dangerous
It looked cute at first but now it’s just scary
O_o
Looks like my gf without makeup.
i see no respect for the animal
THAT IS ONE UGLY ASS EEL!!! Haha
2nd comment
cool eel, very annoying guy
The guy is obnoxious lol
What's obnoxious about him? You seem a little irritable if that's your definition of obnoxious
yeah whatever - you have your opinion and I have mine - your's ain't gospel and neither is mine - just free speech !
Gross 🤮
looks like my grandma.
