Eel inhabits dark cave

[ 04:08 ]
A large eel lives out its long life in the dark recesses of a cave in South Africa's Blyde Canyon. This creature was spawned in an estuary and moved upstream to a suitable freshwater pool where it may live to be 100 years of age. At some point it will return to its ocean home to mate before dying.
