Steve Backshall with the BBC Earth dove deep to bring this footage of the terrible wolf eel. The sea creature is really a fish, and has a row of teeth to compete with a shark. It truly has the face of nightmares.
This 20 day old video just went viral, accumulating over 600,000 views this week after being featured on GrindTV.
Nature shows are chock-full of underwater footage, and there is always a special focus on sharks. All that shark footage has to come from somewhere, and to get a good shot divers must literally dive into the shark’s lair and press record.
But this scuba-cameraman got a little to close for comfort with a very nice sized Tiger Shark who almost bit off his leg. Now you can appreciate the next Shark Week that much more.
Going to the aquarium when you’re little is like entering a whole new universe. Creatures you never thought could exist shock and amaze you. When little Joey went to the New England Aquarium with his parents he had a chance to see the scuba divers in the big tank with the giant turtles. One of the divers waved at Joey and then they held hands through the glass. So precious.
