European Eel

Anguilla anguillaPurple

In a winding European river at night, a European eel slips like a shadow along the bottom, its elongated body almost serpentine. Small fins and smooth scales help it navigate both clear and silty waters with equal ease.

Overview

The animal behind the card

Young eels drift as transparent larvae across the ocean from distant spawning grounds, then transform into pigmented juveniles as they approach continental coasts. They may spend years in freshwater or brackish rivers, feeding on invertebrates and small fish.

When adulthood approaches, a final transformation prepares them for the long journey back to the open sea. Guided by cues still not fully understood, they disappear into the Atlantic, leaving scientists with as many questions as answers.

Bestiary facts

European eels begin and end with a mystery journey to the Sargasso Sea.
