--
From Ancient Greece to the 20th century, Aristotle, Freud, and numerous other scholars were all looking for the same thing: eel testicles. Freshwater eels could be found in rivers across Europe, but no one had ever seen them mate and no researcher could find eel eggs or identify their reproductive organs. So how do eels reproduce, and where do they do it? Lucy Cooke digs into the ancient mystery.

"They do it in the Bermuda Triangle"
Smart eels. They pick the right spot to make babies.
And in Hurricane season too
That confused me surely not every eel ever was born there
So if every seal was born there, do you mean that they mate over there and then just travel and grow till they are capable of conceiving ?
@@CalebDB think thats the point Because we don't know

Accio me no don’t-
Dont
We live in a timeline where we landed on the moon before we found out how eels reproduce
It's like skipping ahead in the storyline before finishing all the side quests.
It's cause going to the moon is more important and commercially driven than learning about eels, all a matter of priorities
@@theoenomelphilosopher8687 what commercial drive is there to land on the moon? No one has yet to profit from the moon.
@@evenasgrimplass9411 ofc there is,let's see what'll make headlines
If people land on the moon or if the scientists have figured out how eels breed, clearly the first one .so the media benefits so does the companies involved in this
@@theoenomelphilosopher8687 the drive behind the moonlandings was mostly political though, not commercial, read about the space race and the cold war. in an alternate universe, figuring out how eels breed might have been the thing countries were competing to be the first to do.

@@samarendra109 Omg thisss 😂
You could also do this with the rick and Morty dragon episodes B plot involving the speaking cat
Lmao this could be an lovecraft history
So I'm guessing eels will refuse to reproduce if they aren't in the wild, because otherwise they would just capture a male and female eel and put them in a tank to see what happens.
But they didn't knew wich one was female or male
Then just put a few
@@DaBestNub and what if those few were all males

I live in Macedonia (Europe), and we have eels in our lakes and rivers. In school they taught us that they go in the bermuda triangle area to breed and come back in the lakes trough the seas and rivers just like they showed in the video. So amazing!
"Eels spontaneously emerge from the mud."
Wow, Aristotle was a knobhead.
The irony in this comment omg
But he was kinda right.
I really hope you are joking
Brother Louis Pastuer didn't put the concept of spontaneous generation to rest until an experiment in 1859. Think about that. An 80 year old dead grandmas dead grandma away from today. Aristotle was 384 years away from the year 0 BCE (nearly 5 dead grandmas away from Jesus being born)

why don't scientists just get some and watch em grow until they breed
if only it is that simple
What if all of them are the same gender
They did.
It take ten years for them to grow and if then when they do wanna mate they have to have been In a big open sea to mate
No one has been able to get eals to breed in captivity

@@paarths.5281 ya know Minecraft is not the only game that stuff spawns
@@cyanidesoup he mentioned a spawner as well, and why you gotta hate?
The faster the eel spins, the closer it is to spawning.
Sadly, eels have all but disappeared from most european rivers. One of the main reasons for this is that on the portugese coast, the little glass eels are caught in masses, fried in oil and sold as a "local speciality". On many portugese beaches, tourists can (and do) buy fried glass eels as a snack - like french fries. :(
This is where the song 'What is Love?' comes into context.
3:34 that bear has seen things that other bears haven't
Wait, so you are telling me feels mysteriously appear out of the Bermuda triangle, and no one knows how?
Something fishy is going on...

There’s actually six stages of eels, the 5 you mentioned and the stage known as “death”
Now i’m curious as to how earthworms make babies.
Well they do the do and the female get pregnant and lays the eggs, I saw one before and if you're asking yourself what a pregnant earthworm looks like it kinda like an earthworm that has a very thicc bottom but not too bottom
They rub that thicker part in their bodies. Both get pregnant since they are hermaphrodites. I am not sure if they lay eggs thereafter.
