moray eels, fucking badass!



The moray has evolved a new eating strategy. Bite into the prey with the usual jaws, and then reach forward with the pharyngeal jaws and bite again. Open the main jaws and release, and the pharyngeal jaws pull the prey deeper into the mouth. The main jaws bite and hold again, and the pharyngeal jaws can reposition and bite more. The food is ratcheted deeper and deeper into the gullet by pairs of jaws taking turns to seize and tug.

Pharyngula: Jaws of the moray
Two sets of jaws to make sure shit doesn't get away

There's even a movie - http://pharyngula.org/images/moray_sm.mov
