*Long fin eels are easy to catch.
*There are 19 different types of eels.
*In the day it can sense things passing.
*They can eat small animals even birds.

*Long fin eels eat their food whole.
*Females are bigger the male.
*They breathe through their gills if not wet.
*Every year they grow an extra ring.
*2 meter they grow to.
*Males only grow 75 meters long.
*Females are bigger than Males.
It was so fun that Don could come and talk to us. It was really interesting.
Bye for now Sophie
