Some species of eels have been known to have a nasty bite, but they will usually only attack when they are feeling threatened or their home is being disturbed. They have also been know to accidentally bite the hands of divers who hand feed them. Eels do not see humans as a food source. Eels will not intentionally attack a human. Once an eel reaches the juvenile stage (elver), it would be capable of biting.
