Hello everyone,
Today a eel scientist named Don, he works at the National institute of water and atmosphere. He knows most about eels in New Zealand. He taught us lots of facts.
- They eat baby birds and little ducklings.
- At night eels can absorb oxygen from their skin.
- Scientists take out mainly baby eels ear bone to see their age and they know by how much rings are on their ear bone.
- Eels have very good smelling (etc, if you put blood in a deep river an eel at the very bottom or very far away can smell it).
- Female eels need to be big to hold lots of eggs.
- Long fin eels hide a lot in the day and come out at night.
- Many many years ago eels lived in sea.
