If you eat the fish alive, it will tear your stomach to pieces
Source:Meet ostrovosky eel (Ophichthidae)
In freshwater rivers and reservoirs in the European part of Russia can be found an unusual creature with a long body and fins. At first you might think that the water floats some kind of snake, but in reality it is the freshwater eel. This is a special type of fish, body length of which may be 80 inches, and weight at least 4 pounds. They are not dangerous to humans and they feed mainly on insect larvae, frogs and small fish. But in Australian waters inhabited by members of the family ostrogoth eels (Ophichthidae) that can live inside the stomach of his enemy and tear him to pieces. Sounds creepy, isn't it?
Animals of Australia
What a desperate and dangerous creature lives in Australia, is not surprising. This continent is infested with scary creatures — which are just a 5-centimeter Voroncova spiders (Atrax robustus), from which bite the human body . Ostrogothia acne can also cause pain, because suddenly quickened inside someone else's body, they begin to look for a way out and tear the stomach apart, causing internal bleeding.
Ostrogothia eels have long and thin body without scales. The caudal fin they have there, so instead they just pointed, rigid end of the body — hence the name of the animal. With the aid of this instrument the Australian creation and causes his enemies internal injuries. And what would he do? Swallowed him and he was trapped. You need to look for a way out.
Ostrovosky acne inside predatory fish.
But that's out of a difficult situation, it never fails — at least, scientists have not been able to find signs of a successful escape from the digestive system of predators. Getting out of the stomach, acne face rigid bodies of their enemies, which is extremely difficult to make a hole with a sharp tail. Eventually they get stuck in mesentery predators and rot right in their body. Not only that, they tear everything is in shreds, then another, and lie and stink — what a mess!
Unusual fish
The Discovery was made by scientists from the State Association scientific and applied research, CSIRO, and told him about it . They caught 11 species of predatory fish from different water bodies of Australia. Stuck ostrogothia acne was discovered in the bodies of the seven caught by predators. It was the first such study of its kind and the results surprised scientists. First, they suggested that found , but only later I realized that it is stuck eels.
Probably, predatory fish often swallow them alive. Most often this occurs near the Bahamas and the Mediterranean. At the moment, scientists hope to catch a fish, which is not yet dead ostrovosky acne. However, until now, these creatures remain poorly understood and much about their lives, scientists are simply unknown.
Today about acne scientists know that part of their life they spend in the larval stage of leptocephalus. In General, larvae of acne is similar to regular fish, but have a completely transparent and slightly flattened body. Have ostrogothic acne this period lasts from 10 to 12 months.
Leptocephali — larvae of eels
As a rule, ostrogothia eels live in underwater burrows, the walls of which are strengthened by mucus. This mucus in especially large quantities secreted by their skin. Some species of this family of eels live on coral reefs, that is, are on the verge of extinction. The fact that recently the press service of the University of Hawaii at Manoa issued a disappointing forecast that by 2100 the world will be no coral reef. More about this can be found in .
Generally, eels are amazing creatures. Now we have learned that some of them are so desperate that they are trying to choose from the stomachs of their enemies. Besides these, there were electric eels, which strike their enemies with electric shock. In 2016, my colleague Sergey gray wrote that this property acne inspired scientists to create a brand that can be used in the manufacture of wearable electronics and "clothes of the future."
