Get the eel mug.Eel(s): True eels are of the order Anguilliformes, which consists of 4 suborders, 19 families, 110 genera and 400 species. Most eels are predators.
The flat and transparent larva of the eel is called a leptocephalus. A young eel is called an elver.
Most eels prefer to dwell in shallow waters or hide at the bottom layer of the ocean, sometimes in holes. Only the Anguillidae family comes to fresh water to dwell there (not to breed). Some eels dwell in deep water (in case of family Synaphobranchidae, this comes to a depth of 4,000 m), or are active swimmers (the family Nemichthyidae - to the depth of 500 m).
Sometimes, eels, irrespective of family, are said to inhabit hovercrafts.

Get the Eel mug.An eel can describe a person and/or his actions as a person. Since an eel is an unattractive creature of the sea it realates to a person who is 'jerk' like and may try to 'slither' his way into certain situations for the hope it will benifit him.
1. A person that is disliked by his looks and behavior
2. A ocean creature that bares resemblance to a snake.
1. Michael thinks Shawn is an eel for asking Jeremy's sister to prom because Jeremy and Michael are close friends with Shawn.
2. When we went fishing we caught an eel, but threw out the sea serpent back into the water.
