Eel learnings!

Good Afternoon,

Today a eel scientist called Don came and taught us more things about eels. Here are some of the many facts I learnt-

• Eels are long and slimy
• They are slimy so they can swim through things
• There are 3 spices in New Zealand long fin, short fin and Australian long fin which only comes out in the north island
• Anguilliformes is a group eels
• 19 eel species world wide
• Long fins are fatter than short fins
• Eels can hear, sense and see very well
• They can grow up to 2m
• They don't eat everyday
• You can tell how old eels are by their ear bone but if you take it out the eel dies
• The oldest eel was about 112

I learnt so much more!

Here is a picture of the longest eel that has been caught-

Thanks for reading,
