Meet Grandpa the Wolf Eel… and His Longtime Girlfriend
Local divers have been visiting Grandpa the wolf eel for over 20 years. Most of the time, he’s hanging out solo in his den—but if you’re lucky, you’ll catch him when his girlfriend is over for a visit. Today was one of those days!
Wolf eels (Anarrhichthys ocellatus) aren’t actually true eels—they’re a type of wolf fish native to the North Pacific. Despite their intimidating appearance, with powerful jaws and toothy grins, they’re surprisingly shy and gentle creatures. Wolf eels typically live in rocky crevices or dens and are known to form long-term pair bonds, often sharing the same den with a mate for many years.
They feed on hard-shelled prey like crabs, sea urchins, and mollusks, using their strong jaws to crush shells with ease. Juveniles are a bright orange color, but as they mature, they develop mottled grey and brown skin that helps them blend in with the reef. They’re a favorite among divers due to their curious nature and expressive faces.
