Possibly. Nobody knows how big they can be. In my country we have legends of giant eels. Stories from my elders about encountering them and we even have evidence in a museum of giant eels. I heard a story of my uncle had found a giant eel and he thought it was a log till it moved while he was trying to move it.
@@tamou_whanau1441 Your uncle never saw that, quit lying to yourself
When I was a kid my dad's friend had a huge aquarium filled with stuff. We went camping once and he caught a handful of baby eels for his tank. Soon after all his fish started acting funny, dying, etc. It turned out to be from the baby eels. I remember one fish swimming sideways so the guy "put it down" and opened it up to see if there were any obvious reasons. A live baby eel popped out. His fish were eating them and they were eating their way back out. Eels man... Eels.
Eels are Xenomorphs, confirmed.

I mean, would you do it if a bunch of scientists where trying to watch you without consent?!

Obviously when one eel falls in love with another eel they get married and a stork eel drops off the baby eel

This just shows how big the ocean is and how much we haven’t explored, the fact we were able to narrow it down so much yet we still can’t find their breeding grounds is scary. There’s so much about some sea animals that we don’t know about and it’s kind of scary.
Scary or absolutely fascinating!
We actually do know the breeding grounds. If I'm not mistaken they attached a gps to an eel. The sargasso is where they breed and larvae was found there way back in 1920. We also know how they breed because they were breed in captivity with the aid of hormones to sexually mature them and closely studied afterwards. This was done in the 90s
It turns out that eels have a migration rout that takes them to the Saragossa sea. They use the salinity in the water to find this place and this is where they meet. They have found the larva of baby eels and tracked the adults to this location. Meaning, the female will dump the eels and the males comes by to fertilize the eggs….this was discovered a year ago…you’re welcome..
but what's with freshwater eels??
@@momokolove fresh water eels leave their freshwater habitats to start the migration to the Saragossa sea…crazy huh
@@mcblu9344 what about eels that are like in a lake??
@@momokolove eels are born in salt water. The ones in lakes were too but move into lakes from stream systems. These are called catadromous eels. You’ll only find a lake dwelling eel if there is some stream system upriver to it. So if it’s damned off, no eels…
@@mcblu9344 ohh okay!!! that's so fucking cool thank you
Of course he thought eels came from rainwater and mud. If they bury themselves in mud during a dry spell they would come out when the dirt became mud due to rainwater. He probably watched an eel unearth itself while it was raining and his problem was solved.
I think that’s a perfectly logical assumption!
@@Powerbandm Especially if you don't even know what cells are or are thousands of years away from cell theory.
Wow, great observation. I didn't even come close to connecting the two. Thanks for the insight. Be well. .-.

Wait you’re telling me that he was hanging around a dried pond and when the rain came and the eels came out of hibernation, he was crazy for saying that eels were born that way?????
🤷♂️good point
In a vacuum it sounds crazy but that's honestly a reay good observation
It would be crazy nowadays, but back then the boundries of what is possible and what is not where not as clear.
that’s probably why it was accepted by everyone. People could see it for themselves.
@@med4nel It's still not completely clear.
What if the baby eels leave empty eggs around, that can be recycled when comes into contact with some adult eel parts? Kinda like jellyfish do, just a tad more complicated. How do the males know how and when to spread said adult stuff? Maybe similar on how frogs can navigate to their birthplace.
Lyle takes me to some odd but interesting places
Eels burry themselves in mud when a pond dries up. Rains come and eels arise out of the mud. I would think that that plus the lack might lead an observer to jump to an eelogical assumption.
I feel like you're reaching and reeling 😏
You really threw caution into the wind and let Jesus take the wheel.
Maybe they lay eggs in the mud?

Underrated comment
TLDW: We now know that Eels develop testes based on environmental cues (and are agender at birth), explaining why Eels taken out of the water are very unlikely to have testes. This also why Freud only found one devloping male out of all the hundreds of Eels he dissected.
Big brain people like u is why I look in the comment section for all the answers. The comment section is all knowing
i guessed right 😎
what if the ones that started developing were towards the last to get dissected and the drop in eel population around them caused the development
im not even trying to be that person, cause im not a genius, but I was definitely thinking if this was a possibility. It's cool to know I was thinking in the right path!
You’re wrong. Agender and being Sexless are NOT the same. Eels are SEXLESS, agender is a term that only applies to humans
I can honestly say I have never thought so much about eels. Thanks for adding to my 'miscellaneous thoughts--some useful, some not so much'!
Thanks for teaching me something that I didn't even know I had a question about. Now I can show off in Trivial Pursuit!
When two eels love each other very much they ask God for a baby, then a baby eel is brought down from the heaven by a stork.
Maybe seagulls are some sort of delivery service.
@Boogiie Montana Wrong. By the same logic flying humans would be what deliver human babies. But they don't. Storks manufacturer and deliver the baby. Storks clearly have some weird monopoly on baby delivery services. Therefore flying fish wouldn't make baby for fish. I rest my case.
They also have to submit an application form with their income, status and background both to God, and the stork messengers before doing so.
This is literally the same thing my parents told me when I asked them “where do babies come from?” Then I got a girlfriend in 1st grade and said “let’s ask god for a baby so the storks can bring to us” she agreed and when it didn’t work I told my mom and she said “only adults can have babies”. However, i knew that teens could have babies and then I decided to look it up cause I knew she was lying. That’s how I learned the birds and the bees.

Actually that’s a myth, there is nothing weird about the Bermuda Triangle and many of its supposed famous crashes don’t even occur in the Bermuda Triangle, merely passing through it
@@blackgold2589 well, yeah. Thats the weird stuff. We know why it happens to a degree and obviously we know its not paranormal. Its just because the areas winds and oceans are obviously like a giant whirlpool so it causes some weird unpredictable things to happen. In the 1880s when it was first was introduced as a mainstream and well known phenomenon, they didnt have any tools to know any of the features of the land. Even back to when Christopher Columbus was around he had to sail through the triangle. He recounted having seen an intense flame and light crash into the oceans which we think might of been a very coincidental meteor. Also, pretty notably, the triangles north and south magnetic fields line up evenly which causes compasses not to work.

Freud's theories are basically just the more respected precursor to the classic rebuttal "I know you are but what am I?". I bet all his life people were like "Why are you so obsessed with people's baby making parts?" and Freud was like "Well why are you so obsessed with my thoughts on those body parts? Maybe you just think too much about your mom's body, creepo" and everyone back then was so scared of talking about sex at all, much less something THAT weird, that they'd just be like "Woah, woah, alright, sorry I said anything, I'll shut up but just don't say stuff like that about me!".

I ate baby eels once. In the 19th century such baby eels were considered the dish of my city: Pisa They were fished when they descended from the river Arno after the female had given birth to them up to the river. Their dialect name was “ cee” which meant that they were blind. I saw them before being cooked: they looked transparent Boiling water was passed on them while they were in on a colander and they came to resemble cooked thin spaghetti. The taste was slightly that of a fish but essentially they seemed to me as if they were cooked spaghetti. From many years they ceased to appear in the Arno river due to pollution but now they must have returned even if not in the same numbers as they did in the 19th century when people could put a handkerchief and lift it full with the baby eels
Nice factual explanation. Cheers for the eels!
It’s not that nobody knows, just the people who do are so horrified that they can never talk about it to anyone

@English person sit this one down. Your kind thought eels came from a horses tail
@English person nah I was just messing around. I'm not american and the gag was after your username.
@English person the point of the video is that eels still are largely a mystery, and that exactly how they reproduce still hasn't been documented. they don't know how they are migrating either at such young hatchlings. They just know, that they do actually have balls that develop once they migrate back to the seagarssa ocean, and once they live that specific area, their balls glands dissapear again.. thats why, if you want to find an eel with balls, you have to go to the seagarssa ocean. we don't know how they mate, the habits and behavior of them, their reproductive lifecycles down to a specific, theirs more work to be done to understand the eels.
