Eels**__ The eels are slimy fish that look like snakes. Mostly they are long. There are different kinds of eels like morays, congers, snake eels, and snipe eels. They can live in salty water or fresh water. one of the eels is the electric eel. scientists say the electric eels is not really a true eel. I think it is. Maybe the fact that it eletricutes people is why scientists dont think it is an eel.

__**Life cycle**__

Some eels start their lives in the Sargasso Sea, ana area of the Atlantic ocean near the West Indies. The female eels lays their eggs there in the Sargasso Sea in the spring before she dies. The eggcracks into a tiny larva, the next stage is when a eel develops. In time, the miniature eel reaches the coast of North america or Europe. From there it develops its colors depending on what kind of eel it is. the egg design varys weather which kind of eel it is.


 * __Migration__**

Each fall, a number of silver eels stick together and migrate back to where they were born. During this time, eels will go across the land and not have anything block its path. Nobody knows how the eels find their breeding grounds. Some scientists think they use their sence of smell to find their way to their breeding grounds. They use the currents as their director.
