Moray Eel or Alien?

Scientist have discovered that moray eels have a second set of jaws that help them swallow food. After the front jaws bite, the rear jaws slides forward and grabs the food. As the main jaws open, the rear jaws retract forcing the food down the pipes. This cool feature and the eels ugly smile could very well be the source of inspiration for many horror and sci-fi movies. Their snake like bodies and vacant star truly suggest alien origin. Remember the Aliens movie starring Singorney Weaver, where the mother alien had the second set of jaws pop out of the already terrifying set of chompers.
