McCosker in 1999.[3] It is a tropical, marine eel which is known from the eastern Indian and western central Pacific Ocean, including India, Indonesia, the Straits of Malacca, northern Australia, and the Philippines.[2][4] It is known to inhabit shallow, turbid estuaries, and to a lesser extent the deeper water over soft substrates.[4] Males can reach a maximum total length of 29.6 centimetres.[2] The species epithet "zabra" refers to the eel's ability to consume large prey.[2] Due to its wide distribution and variety of habitats, the IUCN redlist currently lists the angry worm eel as Least Concern.[4] References1. ^Common names for Skythrenchelys zabra at www.fishbase.org. {{Taxonbar|from=Q3355802}}{{Ophichthidae-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 Skythrenchelys zabra at www.fishbase.org. 3. ^Castle, P.
