Today on CHUNK! FUNK! GUNK! We rate
the MORAY EEL:
8/10 Chunk
10/10 Gunk
8/10 Funk
It’s been a long time coming, and anyone who’s been following this blog for any amount of time is well aware of my obsession with these funny wiggly boys.
Moray eels. My beloveds. Look at that girth, high chunk. The slime layer that makes it so that I cannot hug them without a proper wetsuit or fabric layer, absolute gunk. The big squishable cheeks, the weird sticky-out-y tube nostrils, the two mouths, incredibly funky.
Overall: 10/10
Everyone has a selfish dream of what they would do if they won the lottery. Mine is simple: buy a giant saltwater tank and fill it with 3 giant moray eels. (Preferably of different colors/patterns so I can tell them apart)
Everyone also has a dream of channeling their inner Disney Princess with a wild animal: I want to hug a moray eel.
It was my birthday on the 18th, so as a gift to myself, I rate my beloveds.

EELS!
Eels are long and full of grace,
Some have two jaws within their face,
One jaw to grasp,
One jaw to pull,
Until the eel is nice and full.
Within their throat some fish have teeth,
But moving jaws, to my belief,
Are only found in Moray eels,
It helps them eat and swallow meals,
Unlike fish that suck down food;
(Morays find them very rude).
I’ve got all these eel species for sale over on my website here: https://www.palaeoplushies.com/

Moray eels always look like a mix of scared, apprehensive and judgmental 🥲

Spiny eel/ribbon eel dragon for a commissioner. Eel dragons are one of my ultimate comfort subjects to draw.
