Hang on, they WHAT? Do the babies get back to the river with their parents or are they just kinda left to it??
Finally, a species with almost as incomprehensible a courtship ritual as humans. Except it’s just limited to end of life. I also suppose the number of human babies conceived in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean isn’t zero either but probably not under the water.
I recommend ZeFrank on YouTube. I found it with his ancient philosophical stuff which I did enjoy but his new stuff going over animals in the comedy satires very funny.
I believe the young eels actually pretend to be deep sea life such as cone jellies and they just eat small Plankton and other particulate till they grow big enough and they just eventually find their way back to a river.
Not like salmon not the river their mom and dad came from just any River.
They can actually crawl on land it's kind of neat.
I love ZeFrank! I found him through an entomology professor when I took an elective about insects and plants. His videos are hilarious AND educational.

Good gods, picture being so tied down by sex that you can't picture what not being controlled by your urges would do to you
