... that the tiger snake-eel uses its well-developed sense of smell to locate prey buried in the seabed? Source: "Myrichthys maculosus se nourrit de poissons et crustacés qu'il débusque dans le sable grâce à son odorat développé.

New enough, long enough, ~10x expanded. Hook is moderately interesting and supported by source. No policy issues that I see, passed Earwig check. QPQ complete. Also noting there is a free picture in the article that could be used if desired. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:19, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Promoting to prep. The source does not have a hyphen in the name so I have removed it. Yoninah (talk) 20:56, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
