Eels

no. electric eels live in the amazon

do not dirty the water

Very fast. They swim fast enough to get away from the things that are trying to eat them. If not, they just shock them.

Vinegar eels are free living, non-parasitic nematodes that feed on the material known as the "mother of vinegar". When you realize the amount of small living creatures we ingest on a daily basis, vinegar eels are truly no cause for concern. They occur in raw vinegars commonly but not always. If you have ever had raw apple cider vinegar then chances are they were there. The health benefits far outweigh the squeamish factor.

No, because is a catadromous fish found on the eastern coast of North America. The American eel has a slender snakelike body that is covered with a mucous layer, which makes the eel appear to be naked and slimy despite the presence of minute scales. A long and dorsal fin runs from the middle of the back and is continuous with a similar ventral fin. Pelvic fins are absent, and relatively small pectoral fin can be found near the midline, followed the head and gill-covers. Variations exist in coloration, from olive green, brown shading to greenish-yellow and light gray or white on the belly. Eels from clear water are lighter than those from dark, tannic acid streams.

The eel lives in fresh water and only leaves this habitat to enter the Atlantic ocean for spawning. It takes 9 to 10 weeks for the eggs to hatch. After hatching, young eels move toward North America and enter freshwater systems to mature. The female can lay up to 4 million buoyant eggs a year, but dies after egg-laying.

The eel is found around the Atlantic coast including Chesapeake Bay and the Hudson River. It prefers to hunt at night, and during the day it hides in mud, sand or gravel very close to shore, roughly 5 to 6 feet under.

American eels are economically very important to the East Coast and rivers where they travel. They are caught by fishermen and sold, eaten, or kept as pets. Eels help the Atlantic coast ecosystem by eating dead fish, invertebrates, carrion, insects, and if hungry enough, they will cannibalize each other.

Eels were once an abundant species in rivers, and were an important fishery for aborignal people. The construction of power dams, however, has blocked migration and locally exterminated eels in many watersheds. For example, in Canada, the vast populations of eels in the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers have dwindled.

Although many anglers are put off by the snake-like appearance of these catadromous fish, eels are in fact fit for human consumption. They are usually caught by anglers seeking other catch. The world record weight for the American eel is 9.25 pounds.

under houses

Eels can grow from 15cm to 30cm in 1 month and can grow up to 1 meter in a year.

Female are called Kassi's and male ones are called Emily's.

Yes.

They don't, although electric eels can give you an enormous electric shock.

well there are different answers for that question. both male and female live in captivity for 16 yrs. the male can live for 10-15 yrs. the female can live for 12-22 yrs. there is 17000 eggs born at one time as well

arond 13 years

Yes they do. They are classified as jawless vertebrates.

Up to 10km in some instances. This is due to the nature of there skin being very slimy allowing them to glide through grass and wetland very easily.

National Geographic Reporter.

Eels are mostly found in rocky crevasses and in the sand so that predators can't fit into the hard to reach places.

Female moray eels deposit eggs into a well hidden spot in the water. Then, she releases an scent that tells the male the eggs are ready for sperm. When Moray Eels enter mating season, they repeatedly open and close their mouths to signify the beginning of the cycle. They are primarily monogamous, but groups with three members mating are common as well. They reproduce by coiling and uncoiling around each other for the duration of a few hours, give or take, depending on species.

Moray eels are generally hermaphroditic from birth, being born with both male and female genitalia; or they can also be born a certain gender and change as they see fit. For instance, if there are too many females in an area, a female might change to a male in order to reproduce. ( This doesn't include a small group of eels that are not either hermaphroditic or able to change gender. )

The Gulper eel is 6 to 7 feet long; its mouth opening 2 to 3 feet wide.

Slipery

Yes they can Kill... The shock from an electric eel affects the body by altering physiological functions such as involuntary muscle actions and respiration. Symptoms of being shocked by an electric eel can be respiratory paralysis and cardiac failure. These symptoms may result in death. Eels also have powerful jaws and can bite a finger right off of a diver if they are not careful. This could in theory cause death if medical treatment was not made available soon. http://hypertextbook.com/facts/BarryLajnwand.shtml

The long finned eel spends it adult life in fresh waters of New Zealand. It can spend as long as fifty years and reach over thirty kilograms in weight before it returns to the sea to begin a long migration to the deep waters around Tonga to breed. The adults then die and the young eels return to New Zealand waters as elvers hence completing the cycle.

grig no, it's an elver ignore grig please.

Eels are fish and fish are vertebrates. Therefore, like all vertebrates, they have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

Eels are a water breeding and eating animal they cannot survive on land by their skin type and by the way they breath.

People think it's in the tail NOT TRUE, NZ fresh water eels have their brain in the head. If you are checking out why they keep moving after you have removed the head, it's because of 'spinal reflexes' even after an hour or 5, if you poke into the back bone it's still going to flinch.
