Boy, you can really see how effective those claws are in terms of just ripping
off chunks of that squid and then chowing down.
I notice that the mouth parts have two parts.
There's an inner part that's used for feeding.
You'll also see a lot of fluttering and those of the outer parts that are used to create the respiratory current.
Oh interesting, okay. Yeah so one is for feeding and one is more for breathing.
You're also notice those short twitching antennae. Those are its sense of smell.
There is definitely twitching, must smell awfully good.
We've got a good tug o' war going on here for this piece of squid.
(laughs) The crab is like "No, you can't have my squid!"
These cutthroat eels are pretty hardcore when it comes to feeding.
Would you say they're pretty cutthroat, Meagan?
I would!
Cutthroat eels are pretty ambitious predators in the deep sea.
Go crab for keeping hold of your meal!
