Habitat
They live in the North Pacific and can be found sheltering among rocks.
They swim by making deep S-shapes with their bodies, like a snake moving across the ground. They are grey coloured, with large heads and dark spots over their backs. Males have thick jaws and a bulging forehead. Combined with their long, snaggly front teeth they look ferocious, but wolf-eels tend to be aggressive only to other wolf-eels.
