Hehehe. I read an article on the BBC site earlier today that had the line:

Checking back tonight, 'morays' has now been corrected. Pity.

Anyhoo, that got me to thinking about moray eels, which led me to the Wikipedia page, which led me to learn that morays have an extra set of jaws, called pharyngeal jaws, which, well, just take a look at the picture:
