Snaggle-toothed snake-eel

provided by wikipedia EN

The snaggle-toothed snake-eel[1] (Aplatophis zorro) is an eel in the family Ophichthidae.[2] It was described by John E. McCosker and David Ross Robertson in 2001.[3] It is a marine, tropical eel which is known from a single specimen collected from Panama, in the eastern central Pacific Ocean. From the specimen it is known to dwell at a depth range of 5–10 metres, and reach a maximum total length of 104 centimetres. Based on other eel species it is estimated to inhabit burrows on a permanent or semi-permanent basis, and feed on small fish and crustaceans.[2]

The species epithet "zorro" refers to the resemblance the facial pore pattern bears to the fictional character's trademark slash mark.[2] It being known from only one specimen, the IUCN redlist currently lists it as Data Deficient.[4]
