Chillin' like an eel - American eel takes a break from the icy depths of Antarctica!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Paulo de Oliveira, we witness the incredible adaptability of the American eel, Anguilla rostrata. Known for its ability to thrive in various aquatic environments, this particular specimen has found itself swimming alongside a bald notothen or bald rockcod, Pagothenia borchgrevinki. While the American eel prefers streams and muddy lakes, it seems to have taken a detour into the freezing waters of Antarctica. Fear not though! Thanks to its antifreeze proteins coursing through its blood, this resilient creature remains unfazed by subzero temperatures that would leave most shivering. But wait! The plot thickens as we learn about potential predators lurking beneath the ice. The ploughfish and Antarctic toothfish are known to have their eyes set on our brave little eel friend. It's survival of the fittest down there! With such remarkable adaptations and an adventurous spirit, it's no wonder why this deep-sea dweller caught Paulo de Oliveira's lens. So next time you're feeling chilly, just remember - if an American eel can conquer Antarctica's frozen depths with style and grace, you can handle anything life throws at you!
