3. Glassy Ell : The Transparent Marvels
Venturing into freshwater habitats, we encounter a peculiar group of creatures: eels. While eels spend their adult lives in rivers, streams, and estuaries, their journey begins with a transparent larval stage called leptocephaly. These delicate, jelly-like creatures float through the open ocean, relying on their transparency to evade predators. We’ll follow their incredible transformation and explore how their unique camouflage helps them navigate the challenges of their environment.
