About the Eel
Eels are long, snake-shaped fish found in rivers, lakes, and the sea. There are around a thousand kinds, and most are hunters that are active at night. Each eel begins life as a clear, leaf-shaped larva that drifts on the ocean currents before slowly changing into its familiar long body. This printable suits an ocean or freshwater-life lesson, and the eel's winding body makes one long path to trace.
- There are roughly 1,000 different eel species.
- They swim by rippling their whole body like a ribbon.
- Moray eels hide in reef cracks and open and close their mouths to breathe.
