The American
eel starts its
life in the
Sargasso Sea
in the Atlantic
Ocean. Then it
floats and
swims to rivers
and streams
across North
and South
America. It
spends most
of its life in
freshwater.
Once it is time
to reproduce,
it goes back to
the Sargasso
Sea. This is
where it was
born in
saltwater.
Help the
American eel
return safely to
its breeding
grounds.
Predators are
animals that
feed on eels.
The eel has
very few
predators.
They are:
porbeagle
sharks,
barracudas,
grouper fish,
humans and,
sometimes,
seabirds.
Sargasso Sea
Careful,
don't touch
the sides!
Start
Slide your mouse, finger or stylus on the screen,
in the direction you want the eel to move.
(Note: you do not have to touch the eel to move it)
Congratulations
You've made it to the Sargasso Sea!
Barracudas, this nasty fish is hungry
and loves to feed on eels.
Grouper fish is a large fish with a large appetite.
Eel is its favorite food on the menu.
The net represents humans;
watch out so they don't catch you!
Porbeagle sharks, keep your eyes open,
they're one of the American eel's biggest predators!
Oops!
Woah, slow down!
Be careful, those walls are dangerous.
Try again, you can do it!
