      we're not much better, you know...
      we breath largely inert gas, but specifically for the corrosive part
      our saliva could probably make anything we bit go into toxic shock if they actually survived
      we go out of our way to upend entire ecosystems just so we can build homes
      we dig massive pits for stone, and have absolutely gigantic machines that roll themselves up the spiralling path, powered by million-years old compressed bacteria
      we regularly travel hundreds of miles a day to perform a task (that, at this point, only abstractly helps our community - at best...) in similar heavy metal boxes
      we developed a weapon that hits you before you can even hear it! not to mention the fact that some variants of the projectile explode *inside* of you!
      our kind is known to be murderers, kin-killers, thieves, and some of those rise to positions of power! we hunt for sport! we kill because we can!
      should we really be asking why someone is willing to pet a tube with broken glass for teeth?
      or should we ask, instead, why the eel is willing to be pet by us, the real life equivalent of space orks?
      to which the answer is, of course, because it hasn't heard the news.

      Its just risk/reward. The risk is needing a bandaid. Stitch, tops. The reward is giving scritches to satan's fl*shlight.
      Theres a mountain lion that naps on my deck once or twice a month. No, I don't feed him or go out there, but the call of 'pet the danger' is too strong. The sliding glass door locks freely in position. So, just enough for 2 fingers. That was *my* risk/reward calculation.
      But he seems chill and friendly with me. Loves chin scratchies. He puckers up and its adorable.
      Then.... he returns the affection.
      And I need ointment.
      He doesn't have a sandpaper tongue. He has a bed of needles. 3 licks, and blood is welling.
      But, if I don't let him lick me, he gives me kitty guilt trip stares through the glass until i break.
      I just keep neosporin by the door now, in case he drops by.
      He's a good reminder that even affection can be dangerous, and seeing the pursed lips and that harley davidson purr is worth a few layers of skin.
      But thats it.
      I wouldn't let him inside. Even though I'm 100% certain he wouldn't attack me, if he made biscuits in my lap, i'd need to go to the hospital.

      @@jkg6211 my expertise lies in the fuzzy. (And one weird owl). The only aquatic pal I ever had was a popeye goldfish. He also liked headpats. Would spit water at you, then hide behind his treasure chest. And he begged for human food.
      You'd think ramen noodle or a few pieces of rice or even meat would be his favorite. Nope. Canned green beans.
      And yeah. He still eats fish food. But he's on the kitchen counter, and half the time, I just sit and eat there. So he wants to try the food too.
      Other than him, I've no fish experience.
      And with fuzzy critters, the bandaid/stitches bit works. Its all size-related. Give me an angry chihuahua bite over a horse-nip any day.
      Come to think of it, I don't ever think I've bought a pet. I just make friends with weird things. Or take pets people don't want, like my goldfish. I've got a bobcat named Uncle who is basically my housecat, and a sweetheart. Theres the raccoon, Stumpy, who likes coming in to hang out and play with the cat at night, and every week or so, the owl stops by for chicken nuggets (have to be crispy) and hugs, surprisingly.
      I didn't want to name him a dumb owl name, like Hootie. So I considered Weird Owl Yankovich. He *is* weird.
      But Hootie stuck, so I named him Blowfish.
      I'm starting to think I'm a Disney princess in denial. So I'll take your advice and leave Ursula's s*x toys alone.

      It's just like if you're walking in the street alone and suddently a friend of yours sees you and jumps on your back, well you would be startled and not too happy to see them at first, surely you would prefer if they say hi before even touching you 😂

    I’m from South Florida and have been a certified diver since I was a teenager. It’s amazing how many species can be friendly towards humans: sharks, eels, barracuda, cuttlefish, stingrays, all the species people are usually afraid of. Yet “peaceful” species like Goliath grouper and even dolphins can be huge dicks lol.
    Once when I was having a really bad day I went for a dive to get away from human life and came upon a big barracuda hovering over a reef, watching for prey. I came over and made eye contact with it, and the barracuda sort of looked me up and down but didn’t move aside from turning slightly to face me. I don’t know why, but for a long time I just floated there, staring into the eyes of this big fish with huge teeth, and it stared back. Must have stayed like that for over half an hour, just quietly regarding each other and watching the reef below. It never moved, and seemed to understand that I wasn’t there to disrupt anything. _Maybe_ it sort of enjoyed the company. Or maybe it just wondered what my problem was. Either way, I eventually had to leave, and only after I swam away did the barracuda start swimming away in the opposite direction.
    I like to imagine that barracuda was also having a hard day, and we kept each other company for a little while. Two species which shouldn’t be friendly towards each other, and yet we were. Hell, I’ve touched hundreds of sharks and I’ve never been attacked. Animals are a lot more intelligent than humans realize. They’re not just mindless killing machines.

      Yeah, I've dived for years, not quite had any of those experiences, but last time I was on Cozumel they told me there's a nurse shark at one of the dive sites that won't leave you alone until you pet it. I think the dive site was called Colombia, one of the furthest from the harbor.
      I've had a nurse shark brush up against the hand holding my camera, but I think that was more accidental.
      I've also done the finger/tentacle handshake with octopusses. My favorite being with a mimic octopus in the Maldives, which me and my dive buddy stuck around for half an hour, it also really amused me when it tried to mimic an anemonie but was in a dameselfish's territory, and it kept pecking at it, making it try to dodge.

    I am a diver from Croatia that encounters those eels on almost every dive (they are named Ugor in Croatia). They are hands down of the friendliest and curious creatures in the sea. They always come out if you stick around the entrance to the hole, you can pet them (gently) and play with them, they really don't care. The only thing you never do is grab its tail or pet its tail if its sticking out of a hole, they usually respond quite aggressively to that but besides that they are just bros really.

      Its about grooming.
      Every animal likes being groomed in one way or another. Be that to get rid of old skin cells, get rid of parasites, dirt, itchy spots, etc.
      Becausecof that, and cause most animals cant groom 100% of their bodies themselves, grooming eachother has become a universal show and sharing of affection and trust.
      Petting or scritching is ultimativly a simulation or mimicry of grooming.
      Aside of that, feeling the touch of another creature can instill comfort even on the most basic minds.
      That feeling of comfort comes from the fact that,if someone or something, that means no harm to you,is near you, your chance of survival inherantly goes up.
      Combine that with grooming also increasing survival (cause it inproves health) and you get the reason why most animals are content or even enjoy being pet.

      Fun stuff. What I heard is that, when they bite, they latch into the crevice they reside, making it very difficult for the diver to free themselves, making them die by bleedout or by asphyssia (O2 tank running out).

    • @thebocce5741
      @thebocce5741 3 роки тому +71

      *TLDR:*
      Morays have not killed anyone, most of the bites have occurred because people either try to feed or touch it. Sometimes, the bites can be unprovoked, and in one instance, a man got their forearm ripped open by an unprovoked Moray who had been fed a lot by humans.
      The moray was OK with what was happening, if not, the video would have been much more grisly.
      *Long version:*
      No fatalities have actually been reported due to Moray eel bites. Most of the time, when people are bitten, it's when they insert their hand into a crevice where an eel is in, which is growing increasingly more common now due to the practice of commercial feeding. However, sometimes the attacks are unprovoked, for example, in one occurrence, a man was violently bitten by a 10-meter long Moray eel that had frequented the area where they were swimming and had become used to the divers presence there, generally regarding them as being a food source (The eel received food from the divers, they did not eat the divers themselves), which could have been an explanation as to why the bite occurred. The bite was still very serious nonetheless, with the victim's forearm being torn open, revealing their bones, but they did survive. Also, something interesting is that Moray eels actually have a 3rd row of teeth to prevent their prey from escaping, which isn't relevant to the discussion, I just thought it was cool.
      That Moray eel was most likely ok with what was happening, because if it refused to be pet by the diver, then the events of the video would have been much different.

      I heard they are waiting in tiny spaces in between rocks, and when diver is uncautiously swimming around it catch your finger and fit back in between rocks while flexing their muscles to become larger than openings. Its basically impossible to get your hands out and the only way is to cut off your finger.
