Pic: This huge king snake eel is one big reason to stay out of the ocean… forever

This is some scary sh*t.

This is some scary sh*t.

Just when you thought it was safe to go near the water again, nature hits you with another curveball to leave you scared of getting into the water ever again.

The picture shows a student in America lying beside a king snake eel in what is a truly terrifying photo. From our research we have discovered that these eels can grow up to seven feet long and weigh as much as 30kg.

Earlier we posted a story about the lads on J1’s in America, and we can safely say that if they knew beasts like these lurked in the depths of the ocean, they would not have been half as keen for a dip.

We did not know that this kind of creature existed and to be honest we were happier living in our world of blissful ignorance, this beast has ruined bath time for JOE for the considerable future.

We are not safe on land with that treacherous seagull Jonathan terrorising the public, the sea is a cruel mistress and no longer safe (as you can see above), and we can’t go into the long grass because of the guys below. Is anywhere safe now?
