Species and fun facts:Anguilla rostrata
The American eel is a facultative catadromous fish found on the eastern coast of North America. Eels are fish belonging to the elopomorph superorder, a group of phylogenetically ancient teleosts.

Please note: Due to Usps shipping regulations the specimen will be shipped without alcohol. You can fill a jar of your choosing with 70% Isopropyl alcohol which can be purchased at any grocery or drug store for approx $2. at a Family Dollar or Dollar General Store.
The jar/container is just to give you an idea and does not come with the specimen. The specimen will come in a bag with a tissue paper that has been soaked with just a small amount of alcohol in it to make sure it does not dry in shipping. The specimen should be removed from the bag, added to the jar and filled with the 70 percent alcohol to the top of the specimen once you receive.
If you do not have alcohol readily available you may freeze the specimen, wrap the specimen in double freezer bags with no air in the specimen bag and thaw when you have your alcohol available.
