NARRATOR: AND NOW IT’S TIME FOR SOME MORE
“AMAZING ANIMALS”!
NUMBER 13…
THE AMAZING WOLF EEL!
EVEN THOUGH IT’S CALLED AN EEL,
THIS IS JUST A REALLY LONG FISH!
WOLF-EEL: MY DADDY WAS A LONG FISH.
NARRATOR: I SEE!
WOLF-EEL: MY GRANDDADDY WAS A LONG FISH.
NARRATOR: RIGHT!
WOLF-EEL: MY GREAT GREAT-GRANDDADDY WAS…
NARRATOR: I THINK I GET THE IDEA.
THEY LIVE IN THESE GENERAL AREAS AROUND
THE NORTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN.
MOSTLY AMONG ROCKY REEFS AND KELP FORESTS,
WHERE THESE NASTY SPIKY SEA URCHINS CAN BE A
TERRIBLE PEST BECAUSE THEY EAT ALL THE KELP!
THAT’S WHERE THE WOLF EEL COMES IN!
THIS 7-FOOT LONG FISH IS REALLY
AN EXCEPTIONAL PREDATOR.
THEY HAVE A POWERFUL SET OF JAWS MADE JUST FOR
THE JOB OF EATING SEA URCHINS!
CHECK OUT THOSE SHARP TEETH!
WOLF-EEL: MMM, DELISH!
NARRATOR: OUCH, THAT MUST HAVE HURT!
WOLF-EEL: OH YEAH!
NARRATOR: SO THEY LOVE SEA URCHINS, OBVIES,
BUT THEY ALSO EAT CRABS AND OTHER CRUNCHY STUFF TOO!
FEMALE FISH: HEY LEAVE MY FRIEND ALONE!
CRAB: SO I PICKED UP OUR MOVIE TICKETS TODAY
AND OHHH-ARRGHHH… GOODBYE CYNTHIA!
FEMALE FISH: JEREMY, NO!
NARRATOR: UH, BUT UNDERNEATH IT ALL,
THE WOLF EEL IS REALLY A GENTLE GIANT
AND A TRUE ROMANTIC.
FEMALE WOLF-EEL: HELLO I’M BARBARA AND
I SAW YOU ON FISHBOOK.
WOLF-EEL: GREAT, WANNA SEE MY MAN-CAVE?
NARRATOR: A MALE AND FEMALE WOLF EEL ARE VERY LOYAL
AND OFTEN STAY TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME.
THEY LIKE TO SPEND THEIR DAYS IN LITTLE
NOOKS AND CRANNIES LIKE THESE…
WOLF-EEL: SO I SAID,
“REALLY, DOCTOR, HOW DID YOU KNOW I’D BEEN “EEL”?!
[LAUGHS]
FEMALE WOLF-EEL: NEVER TELL THAT JOKE AGAIN!
NARRATOR: THEY MIGHT HAVE A FACE ONLY A MOTHER CAN LOVE
BUT THE WOLF EEL IS REALLY QUITE AN “AMAZING ANIMAL”!
