Paranguilla tigrina is an extinct prehistoric eel that lived during the Lutetian epoch of the Eocene, in what is now Monte Bolca. [1]
Some of the better preserved fossils show that the living animals had complex patterns of spots. P. tigrina and Dalpiazella brevicauda constitute the extinct family Paranguillidae.
