What is an Eel?
Eels are long, fish-like animals that live in both saltwater and freshwater environments. They look like snakes but are actually fish with fins and gills. Eels are great swimmers and use their whole body to glide through the water. Some species, like the electric eel, can produce electricity to protect themselves or find food. Eels eat small fish, insects, and crustaceans. They often hide in rocks or mud and come out at night to hunt. Some eels can live for over 20 years, and many travel long distances to lay their eggs in the ocean.
