Moray Eel

I know this one isn't traditional photography, but it was on the MOPA website among other photographs. It is a picture of moray eels under an x-ray, taken by digital radiograph by Sandra J. Raredon. I think this is really cool because it shows what is under the skin of these eels. The bones are very detailed and you can see just how many tiny moving parts make up the animals. I think this is really cool because I am very into science and knowing how things work. Neither of the two eels are completely centered in the picture, which I think is interesting. The head and tail of the one are in the center, but the majority of it's body is off to the side. I know this is more due to the movement of the eels than to any conscious choice, but it is still interesting. The skulls of the eels and their tiny teeth are a little scary. If they were larger than the size they are I would not want to encounter one. I also think it is cool how the outline of the skin of the eel can still be seen, so we can get a sense of what exists on the outside of their bones.
