I was driving home from uni and heard on the radio it was all kicking off. Turned the tv on and gave my mate a call whose parents and young siblings were living in Japan at the time. Took waaaay to long to get in contact with the family. Very scary afternoon.

Reply to TIL eels swim from a lake in Australia through stormwater drains and across the ocean to lay eggs in New Caledonia where they die. Their eggs hatch and make the return journey back to the lake they came from. by Aussiewhiskeydiver

I have this weird recollection of watching horse racing on tv as a kid. The race was at Randwick - not far from where the eels migrate from. It was pissing down with rain and the camera panned to Eels swimming across the track or just outside the track and the announcer explained where they were headed. Haven’t thought about it years. Totally forgot the eels did this.
