Don Eel Scientist

Learning about eels

On the 22nd of March a man called Don came into room four to teach the Batten Team about eels.

We learned that a type of eel can grow two meters long!  We also learned that if an eels bum is red it means it's been eating crabs. The long fin eels are endangered and most of the eels are females.  They go out to the ocean to lay their eggs and after that they die.  Then the eggs hatch and the baby eels go back to New Zealand with the currents.  Here is a picture that is an example of how long and big an eel can get.  But only a few types can get this big.
