Fascinating creatures

I really enjoyed learning about eels which it turns out are mysterious and unexplained creatures. After the first chapter I had fallen in love with them. The second chapter then hit me like a ton of bricks with the author's reminiscences of his times fishing for eels with his father. Suddenly these -to me- newly discovered mysteries were being killed and skinned. So the rest of the book was a bit up and down. I tended to skim or skip the fishing with father memories, but was fascinated by the chapters detailing the research into eels. Jane posted a link to an eel breeding place in Stillbaai where you can go and visit them (see the Links on this book). I am planning a day trip as soon as I can drive there - any takers?
