My all-time favorite fish is the ropefish. Just look how happy they are!

Adorbs, but can’t hold a candle to the garden eel. Mostly because they both live underwater.

Should do legless lizard as well, i learned that to identify this creature i need to find their butthole.

So finally Have You Checked Your Butthole is the actual correct answer?

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.

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
somebodysomewhere@lemmy.world 4 days ago
that would be because electric eels are fish, not eels.
On my phone but see phylogeny en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_eel

This order is more closely related to catfish.

Why is the head part of the torso?
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Probably because they evolved that way

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.
