--
From Ancient Greece to the 20th century, Aristotle, Freud, and numerous other scholars were all looking for the same thing: eel testicles. Freshwater eels could be found in rivers across Europe, but no one had ever seen them mate and no researcher could find eel eggs or identify their reproductive organs. So how do eels reproduce, and where do they do it? Lucy Cooke digs into the ancient mystery.
Lesson by Lucy Cooke, directed by Anton Bogaty.

Sadly, eels have all but disappeared from most european rivers. One of the main reasons for this is that on the portugese coast, the little glass eels are caught in masses, fried in oil and sold as a "local speciality". On many portugese beaches, tourists can (and do) buy fried glass eels as a snack - like french fries. :(
