Tusky eels live in waters about 30 to 90 meters deep and spend most of their time hidden away, but do occasionally venture into shallows.

Tusky eels also have eyes, but they are small and could have decomposed by the time Desai found the creature’s body.

Dr. Kenneth Tighe of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History believes the dead creature is a tusky eel.

But he said that it could also be in another eel family – either the garden or conger eels.

HoweverThe large teeth rule out most species in those two families.

‘It might Bathyuroconger vicinus or Xenomystax congroides,’ he said. ‘All three of these species occur off Texas and have large fang-like teeth.

Too bad you can’t clearly see the tip of the tail. That would differentiate between the ophichthid and the congrids.

Desai said. ‘My initial thought it might a sea lamprey but when I got close I realized there no way that what it was, particularly based on the mouth.
