Incredible Video Captures Shapeshifting Eel's Feast in Deep Sea

Researchers on an ocean exploration mission captured rare footage of a gulper eel, also known as a pelican eel, with a visibly full stomach. The eel was spotted at a depth of nearly 7,000 feet in the Pacific's deep sea. The gulper eel has the ability to unhinge its jaw and expand its throat, allowing it to consume larger prey than its slim body would suggest. This sighting provides valuable insight into the feeding habits of this elusive creature, which has only been observed a few times in the wild.
