    • @SPFLDAngler
      @SPFLDAngler Před 3 lety +7

      That's not a defense. They do that to tear apart their meal. They can't cut up their food or get any leverage to rip chunks off. They have to knot themselves and push their body/pull their head in order to get a bite of meat.

    You know what’s really sad? Halfway through the video you could see that the small eel was basically getting thrashed in half but he kept fighting and biting his opponents face. Assuming he did escape, he’d be either dead shortly after or just be swimming around with half its body hanging on by a thread
