This is Boris (who is most likely Doris) another long-fin eel who lives in the lake at Pukekura Park.
I don't know how old she is but she's been well fed for a long time!

Oh dear, I got to admit I do not really like eels. Snakes is one thing I am trying to get to terms with, but the thought of a 'water snake' or eel in the water while I am surfing... don't like it. The photos are great though! :)

ReplyDeleteGreat captures of this Eel
ReplyDeletelooking for food??
ReplyDeletefirst time I have seen an eel in a shot like this. A great one :)
ReplyDeleteBetty y ou are so brave to go in the water to photograph Boris. I would have had a proper heart attack if that thing was anywhere near me.
ReplyDeleteTo be true, I do not like eels, but this on, having a name ;-), is rather sympathic.
ReplyDeleteEels kind of give me the creeps, but maybe that comes from movies. Maybe the are misrepresented creatures.
ReplyDeleteThis eel has been fed before and is obviously looking for a handout, How nice that he or she posed for a portrait.
ReplyDeleteBoris/Doris is really cool looking.
ReplyDeleteoooh she's a nice big size :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're good at that underwater photography! I wish I could be that good with our manatees in Florida.
ReplyDeleteHeisann.... might join you next week...... ;:OD)
ReplyDeleteWe used to feed the eels at our nearby park but the council took out the boardwalk and put in fencing making it difficult to continue.
