Victory students got slime on their hands last Thursday when eel expert Grant came in to room 11 to talk about eels.He told room 11 lots of facts about long finned eels, including the fact that they are cannibalistic, and he even brought in some real eels. Eels can also breathe on land.
Grant took one out and anaesthetised it with clove oil so everyone could get a good look at an eel. When eels are scared they produce a slime-like fluid so when you try to hold them they slip out of your hands. They also have many sharp teeth which give them a good strong bite. Grant came in because room 11's topic for sustainability was eels.
