The slingjaw wrasse, Epibulus insidiator, is a species of wrasse with an astounding jaw. Its mouth can extend over half the length of the fish's body. The fish can protrude its jaws longer than any other on the planet. Peter Wainwright of UC Davis recorded this video of the wrasse feeding in slow motion.
