COME AT ME BRO

Some species of moray eel (such as this undulated moray, Gymnothorax undulatus) have evolved a resistance to the venom of one of the deadliest creatures in the sea, the banded sea krait.  

These morays can withstand doses of sea krait venom that would slay lesser creatures (and men). 

Morays can inflict grievous wounds on sea kraits, and large eels have been known to actually prey on the snakes—a case of the hunter becoming the hunted. 

Those teeth are not just for show.

(Venom resistance or not, though, some guys are just plain unlucky.)
