Double trouble

I am late to the game on this, but just in case anyone somehow wanders my way without hearing about it elsewhere, I have to share. Not sure how I'm just finding out about this now...

MORAY EELS HAVE A SECOND SET OF FUNCTIONAL JAWS IN THEIR FREAKING NECK. HOLY CRAP!

(the x-rays and video are killer).

How have we not known about this anatomical phenomenon? I mean, we're not talking about some obscure creature here. Moray eels are found in just about every aquarium in the world. I feel like I've said this before, but the wonders of biology will never cease to amaze me.
