The gulper eel, scientifically know as Eurypharynx pelecanoides, is a deep sea fish that resembles ordinary eels but can live between 500 to 6000 feet under sea level and have a distinctively larger jaw. The gulper has tiny pectoral fins that reduce his swimming capabilities so he has to rely on his bio luminescent tail that glows pink to attract prey. This aquatic creature varies in sizes from 3 to 6 feet. The Gulper eel is found in most of the worlds exotic and warm oceans but scientists are not sure due to the depth in which it lives.
The Gulper eel eats mostly crustaceans or cephalopodes (Squid) but can occasionally eat fish but rarely does so due to its small teeth.
