An entertaining read, but doesn't mention one of the weirdest things for me: eels essentially colonise the land. They don't just swim up rivers they get out and find their way into lakes and ponds that aren't connected to the sea by water at all. They can breathe air using their mouths.

Same with lampreys. It was quite a surprise when I found one slithering around in my yard.
