[QUOTE="2strok4fun, post: 1220823, member: 29753"] New addition to the California endangered list Scientific Name: Anguilla rostrata jersyii. Common Name: The Eel Most Eels prefer to dwell in shallow water but this unusual member of the Anguilla family has a habitat ranging from the Southern California Deserts to the South Sierra Nevada, often found wandering creek beds, dry lakes and other areas that seldom see running water. It can be identified by its pale skin and dirt colored “goatee”. It has adapted to Southern California conditions from its Previous Jersey area but hasn’t fully adapted to dealing with the amount of sun the area receives. It is often found trying to protect its pale skin with the oil from coconuts, or resting in the shade of rocks, yucca or wherever it can find relief from the sun. The Eel, though difficult to catch, is easy to track by its telltale dust trail or one can follow the shed parts of bike, the European variety, that it seems to slough off after about a season or two of use. The Eel can be trapped by luring it into treacherous canyons with a string of ribbon that it has been known to mindlessly follow. Shortly this rare Southern California creature will no longer be found in the area. It has been discovered that The Eel is retreating to more northerly climes, specifically the Seattle Washington area. Although not for certain, it is speculated that the reason for the move is that the Seattle weather is better suited for its pale skin. Goodbye and good luck to the friend known as The Eel. [/QUOTE]
