Why is the head part of the torso?
Probably because they evolved that way
Immediately thought of this. 👍
This diagram is still a better love story than Twilight
So this explains her:
Juna and her MASSIVE butt.
🎶 When a mouth opens wide, and there’s more mouths inside that’s a moray~🎶
🎶 When he bites on your thumb, and takes a chunk of your bum, that’s a moray 🎶
🎶 Tails will swing, swim a swim a swim, swim a swim a swim, and you’ll sing Eel-a Bella 🎶
Should do legless lizard as well, i learned that to identify this creature i need to find their butthole.
Glass lizards have external ears. Easier to spot those right behind the jaw. Their body/head segment is pretty distinctive once you’ve seen a bunch side by side. At first it’s difficult, but with a little practice they become easy to distinguish, like Alligator vs Crocodile.
So finally Have You Checked Your Butthole is the actual correct answer?

It looks like other eels don’t necessarily follow the mostly tail body plan of electric eels; morays seem to be less than 50% tail by length
that would be because electric eels are fish, not eels.
On my phone but see phylogeny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_eel
This order is more closely related to catfish.
Catfished again!
My all-time favorite fish is the ropefish. Just look how happy they are!
Silly creature
Now, are the internal organs of an eel in its tail, looping around to the butt. Or are they all more or less in the head and the tail is just muscles and bone?
*electric eel. Electric eels are not eels.
The tail is where the electric organs are The rest of the guts and stuff are all in the torso
Thank you for that link. I was puzzled though when I opened it and saw a cartoon elephant.
And what’s he doing, spending money?
This is a picture of a pretty small electric organ, so you can imagine the immense storage capacity eels have in their tails.
Eels up inside ya
You can never feel bad about your organ being small if it’s electric!
Don’t we love these organic interaction?
Nature is amazing
