Reply to comment by stayshiny in Almost 100 years since being initially proposed, the location of adult European eels' breeding place (upon their 5-10,000 km migration across the Atlantic Ocean) has been demonstrated directly as the Sargasso Sea for the first time. by Litvi

Thanks, very interesting. I remember hearing about the strange beliefs people had about eels in manuscripts from the middle ages. They ate alot of eels.

There's a lot of great history in literature and Eels - they inspired a lot of monster stories and still do now!

They sure do and you can still see why! Lampreys look terrifying.
