European eels can be found in many places! π
They live in rivers, lakes, and even the ocean. You can find them swimming in coastal areas from Norway down to the
Mediterranean Sea. Even countries like England, Italy, and Spain are home to these amazing eels! π
As young baby eels, called glass eels, they make their way to freshwater rivers to grow up. Depending on their life stage, you might find them in sweet, salty, or brackish waters, which are a mix of fresh and saltwater!
