Cheeky green moray eel comes in for a kiss with the camera

  • 6 years ago
A cheeky green moray eel in the waters off Fiji couldn't resist coming in close for a kiss with a camera.

The eel is used to seeing divers and allows them to come in close. The reflective case of the camera may have resembled a piece of fish that is used for feeding.

The green moray eel is actually brown. The yellow tint of the mucus that covers its body, in combination with the drab background color, gives the fish its namesake green color.
