Well for me, even if wikipedia may not be accurate, lack accountability or have all the bells and whistles of a commercial reference work, its like a collective memory of humanity. It may not be always accurate, because over time generations forget or deform facts (sometimes deliberately) , but its better than nothing.
The Mediterranean moray (Muraena helena), also known as the Roman eel, is a species of fish in the family Muraenidae, the moray eels. It has a long eel-like body and is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The species prefers rocky bottoms and lives at depths between 1 and 800 metres (3 and 2,620 ft), with the 100–300-metre (330–980 ft) range being the most common habitat. It is a territorial species and is more active at night, spending most of the day in cavities and clefts between rocks. It hunts fish, crabs and cephalopods, and its bite can be dangerous to humans. This Mediterranean moray was photographed off the coast of the Maltese island of Gozo.Photograph credit: Diego Delso
