The wolf eel at Santa Monica Pier Aquarium was hatched at the Birch
Aquarium in San Diego in March of 2011 and next went to Cabrillo Marine Aquarium
in San Pedro, where they gave her a good home and got her nice and healthy
before sending her to Santa Monica. It's very
unusual to have an aquarium fish raised from eggs in captivity. When full grown
wolf eels can be over 6 feet long. Being raised in captivity, she likes people
and is very curious to see who will be bringing her her next meal.
