Eels are one of nature's unsung heroes for sure.there journey is amazing

Eels have always been a mysterious creature in Scandinavia as well. They just show up in certain sweet water lakes and rivers. Live forever and then leave, only to have their "spawn" return. The theory is that they mate somewhere in the Sargasso Sea. People have even captured them and kept them in wells, living on only scraps for more than 100 years. Weird and ancient. (but please don't keep them in wells)

They are so docile when he is handling them! When I lived in NC, sometimes I would hook one (14-15 inches, about as big around as a finger) when fishing, they would twist and twist and twist and slime and slime. Had to cut the line and re-tie the hooks, once an eel was caught, only eels would bite on that line.

100 years for eels to reproduce? That's ridiculous. Either your missing something or there's a food source bloom that encourages reproduction.

@cygil1 2 жыл бұрын

It's usually around 40, not 100. Eels can find themselves landlocked and unable to migrate to spawn, if so, they can live up to 150 years.
