Open Wide

This is a close-up of the wide opened mouth of White-Mouth Moray Eel - Gymnothorax meleagris.
Moray eels have two sets of jaws: 1) the oral jaws that capture prey; and 2) the pharyngeal jaws that advance into the mouth and move prey from the oral jaws to the esophagus for swallowing. The first picture is an effort to capture this second pharyngeal jaws, but it is too difficult to capture that in a photo :(
