But I have a recipe. Some live in Asian tropical jungles. Others live in China highlands. Unlike most animals, they can tolerate extremes of temperature. A small population was found in a pond near Atlanta.
Nobody knows how it got there.
If eels find their way into the grassy part of the Everglades, they'll have landed in heaven. If something threatens, they'll hide in the grass. In a drought, they'll burrow into the mud and tough it out. Nico, in an experiment, stored a live eel away from water for a month without food. It did just fine.
