A large wolf eel, despite having its head severed from its body, was still able to crush a soda can with ease when it was placed near its mouth.
In this instance, a giant wolf eel, with its head cut off, was placed on a table by a man. As soon as he brought a soda can close to the eel’s head, it immediately used its sharp teeth to bite down and puncture the can. The liquid inside spilled out, and the can became deformed afterward. The video quickly caught the attention of the online community after being shared on social media.
Wolf eels have extremely strong jaws.
The wolf eel (scientific name: Anarrhichthys ocellatus) is a large predatory fish belonging to the family Anarhichadidae, known for eating hard-shelled crustaceans and sea urchins with its incredibly powerful jaws.
Wolf eels are marine creatures with extremely strong jaws, allowing them to easily crush various hard objects. They are named “wolf eels” due to their unusual appearance, with a head resembling that of a wolf and a body similar to that of an eel. Their favorite delicacies include crabs and sea urchins.
They can grow up to 203 cm in length and weigh 18.6 kg, found in the northern Pacific, ranging from the waters of Japan and the Aleutian Islands to northern California. This is one of the largest eel species with skilled hunting abilities; they hide in rock crevices and wait for prey to pass by before launching a crushing attack.
Despite their fearsome appearance, wolf eels are quite curious and friendly towards humans. However, they still have the capability to bite and cause pain. Young eels typically live near the water’s surface for two years after being born.
