That's one ugly fish


The body of the apparently eyeless animal was found on a beach in Texas City a week ago.   Its most striking features are it wide mouth of terrifying razor-sharp teeth and elongated cylinder-shaped body. e most popular opinion was that the animal was a fangtooth snake-eel, also known as the tusky eel, which is native to the Gulf of Mexico. Tusky eels live in waters as deep as 300 feet but occasionally swim into the shallows.
