When you imagine a fish, you probably imagine an animal with a tail and fins that stick out. Not an animal that looks like a snake. Yet, that’s very much what eels look like.
Over 800 kinds of eels live in oceans, lakes, and streams all over the world. Some types burrow into mud or sand. Or hide among rocks. They live in the freezing waters of the North and South Poles. And among the coral reefs of warmer waters. But they all have one thing in common. They begin and end life in the ocean.
