Great Giant Eel

From OurFoodChain
Extinct (May 2nd, 2020): Outcompeted by Makognathusensis hyenadonus

Evolved from B. mimicus they moved to zone 9 as most wondered off to zone 9 to find more food due to large old specimens getting outcompeted by the younger generation. They soon evolved to be bigger and feast on many large species and wyverns. They only burrow to rest peacefully without disturbance. Their egg bearing numbers increase due to their larger size and more predators eating their young.

Found in zone 9 this giant species gets 6 feet. They are found at the bottom of zone 9 preparing to strike at any prey that passes or launch themselves out of the water to grab wyverns from the air. They feed on D. aquaticus, subadult D. blibberous, subadult D. caranaga, D. gripus, D. katharagnathus, D. ptisipteryx and subadult N. ferrodontus. They primarily hunt by striking their prey on the neck then constrict them choking them to death, they would then carry its meat to the ground to feed. They hunt wyverns by launching themselves onto the air by swimming in high speeds to the surface giving extra boost to launch themselves (up to 3-4 feet)then grab one by the wing then drag them down to the sea to feed. They rest by burrowing only living its head exposed to breathe so their tails do not get constantly bitten due to mimicry. They mimic S. angelosis as most of its prey feed on them but it is not really used unless to lure wyverns closer.

When breeding a male and female will pair and spawn in vegetation and live them to incubate by themselves. Females can lay up to 100-150 eggs but only 2-4 survive due predation from their prey, D. caranaga and M. hyenadonus . Once the eggs hatch they will be fully independent of themselves are will hunt by themselves feeding on everything they feed on their mouth (including oslontus species and sukopods).
