About Eels

Many people mistakenly think eels are snakes because eels, like snakes, are legless. About the only thing eels have in common with snakes is that they are cold-blooded and of similar shape.

Eels are fish. Their bodies are slick and slimy to the touch and they live in the ocean and in some fresh water sources globally. Marine (saltwater) eels like the Moray Eel and the Conger Eel reach formidable sizes. These species are fierce by nature and are found in coral reefs.

Most other types of eels spend much of the lives in fresh water in Europe and Eastern America. The majority of them reach an adult length of three feet, although larger ones may reach five to six feet in length.

Both European and American Eels leave their fresh water homes at spawning time in the autumn when they are ready to lay their eggs. Young eels appear sometime in the spring. They are so transparent, you could read this print through their bodies. During their second spring, when they are around a year old and three inches long, young eels return to fresh water.
