akprogressive.bsky.social @akprogressive.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Family is traveling in New Zealand. Today we saw these enormous eels that live in fresh water until they are about 80 years old, then swim thousands of miles to spawn (the currents bring the larva back). This one was at least 4 feet long. The world is a strange and wonderful place. 011
