But arapaima is being hunted and endangered. As early as the 18th century, people found that the arapaima meat is delicious, rich in nutritional value, the local people sell a tongue fish, can bring 350 knives of economic income,

It was many years before people understood that this creature was the terrible alligator eel.
The largest record for the alligator eel is more than 3 meters. The old man slowly took out from the refrigerator a giant crocodile eel skin, which could cover the entire table.
The old man said that even the sharpest knife can not pierce the fish skin, with a chainsaw he completely peeled off this layer of fish skin, from this dense teeth, you can feel the horror of the crocodile eel, after the fish skin is opened into a specimen, you can see the full picture of this crocodile eel, it is 4.8 meters long and weighs 320 pounds, the thickest waistline can barely be held with both hands!
