All about Eels

When we went to the miri last week we learned about Eels from lake Ellesmere. This guy named Clem Smith told us all about Eels, He said that the dad and mum Eel swim all the way to the warm water in Hawaii, the dad raps around the mum and  her tight and then the eggs come out, they give birth to about 100s of them, after the eggs come out the mum and dad die. The baby Eels are called Larva, then their called glass Eels, then their called Elver, next is Adult and the last one is the spawning Eels. The baby's swim back to lake Ellesmere, they can smell were their parents have been and thats how they get back to lake Ellesmere. 

They do the same thing over and over and over again. Clem let us touch the Eels and they were really slimy and gross. Here are some photos of some of the kids seeing what the Eels feel like. Thank you for reading my blog post
