Description
I took this photo in Kapoho on the south Puna side of the island of Hawai'i. Puhi'ula, or Red eel, is the Hawaiian name of a legendary red eel. This puhi was hurrying over a rock to snatch something out of the ocean when a wave grabbed it away from the puhi, just as I took the shot. * “These eels are not considered to be dangerous to humans. However, if they are provoked, they may bite. Hawaiian Snake Eels mate during the summer months.”
