Eels do not have cartilaginous bones; instead, they possess a skeleton made primarily of bone. Most eels belong to the order Anguilliformes and have a bony structure, although some species within the broader category of fish, like sharks and rays, do have cartilaginous skeletons. Eels exhibit a unique body structure that allows them to be highly adaptable in their aquatic environments.
