Get to know the Eel...

Eels are carnivores and are known as predators. Most eels remain in the sea, but females of some species migrate to freshwater and returns to the sea to lay their eggs. American and European eels spend most of their adult life in the lakes, rivers, and streams of these two continents. Eels range in color; they can be silver, glass-like (clear) and dark olive green to brown. There are over 700 species of eels and most of these can be as large as 20 pounds.
