I heard that eels can travel over land for quite long distances, but haven't found anything on this page. Is it true? 78.21.36.86 12:24, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes they can especialy on dark rainy nights around september they are known to migrate overland. That way they are able to reach isolated water bodies and they can also migrate back to the sea when they have matured.

This page is pretty unstructured and contains some loose remarks that are unfounded. If I can find the time I want to translate the dutch page to the English, which is much more elaborate.Viridiflavus (talk) 20:13, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
