Moray Eel Quiz

[OldManOfTheSea]

Here is something for those who love eels can test what they really know. Now I warn you that this test is tricky. Also that there can be more then one answer for any of the questions. You would need to pick are the true correct answers in order to score.

Now I lost the link itself with the questions and answers for I copied only the links in which I needed most for what I'm to do later on. Now I found this still in a saved word pad and I know the answers for I took it a long time ago myself and scored 100.

If those who like to test their knowledge within morays and trust me to score you and also, the answers I will give those in a PM after I viewed their quiz test and mark the score card for you, I will PM you the correct answers to each question and as I were trying to explain, any number of the questions can have more then one or two answers check. For if you only checked one correct answer and that quiz question has two or more correct answers, you will not receive points for it. ENJOY :y220d:

Thanks for posting this on Moray eels.
I had no idea there are that many different kinds of Morays.
A couple months ago I was in the Keys and caught one in around 40 foot of water. While releasing it back to the ocean, it "balled up" on the fishing line. I didn't get a photo of that, but I guess it was a protection reflex. Very strange looking...

Also, what's the name for this one? I think it hit the squid, or cut fish for bait.

The shot you provided its rather difficult to tell for sure but the nearest I can figure it, the species looks to come close to looking like a yellow margin moray>

PS, Also there happens to be world wide more then 850 eel species
