BIOME PROJECT

• I did the river biome for my project.

• The animal I chose to study is the electric eel.

• This project is by Alison E. S.

ELECTRIC EEL: What it Looks Like

• An electric eel weighs around 45 pounds and can be 6 feet long.

• Its color is dark gray-brown on the back and yellow or orange on the belly.

ELECTRIC EEL: What it Looks Like

• The scales covering the body of the eel are tiny and his eyes are tiny too.

ELECTRIC EEL: Life

• Male electric eels live about 10-15 years.

• Female eels live 12-

22 years.

ELECTRIC EEL : LIFE

• As many as 17,000 electric eels will hatch from the eggs in one nest.

• Very few of the babies will live to be 1 year old.

• Baby eels are called baby eels.

ELECTRIC EEL: HOW IT MOVES

• Eel’s move by swimming. They sway side to side to move.

• Electric eels are mostly found swimming in the waters of South America.

ELECTRIC EEL : HUNTS AND PROTECTS

• Eels are cold blooded.

• Electric eels eat other fish. It gets prey by shocking it with electricity.

• An electric eel can make a 600 - volt electric shock.

• One shock from an electric eel will not kill a person, but more shocks will.

ELECTRIC EEL: HUNT AND PROTECTS

• An eel protects itself and kills its enemies with a long tail that makes electricity.

• It also uses the electricity to see in dark water.

• Electric eels are not endangered but it may be the future because it’s home is being destroyed.

ELECTRIC EELS: OTHER STUFF

• Electric eels are mostly in South America.

• Both parents look after and protect the babies.

• Eels are stay still and quiet during the day and become more active at night.

• If you find a dead electric eel, be careful it can still shock you.

Plants of the River Biome

• Sea-weed

TRAVEL GUIDE AND ATTTACTIONS

• If you want to visit South America and see eels, go in the summer. It will be hot, nice and peaceful.

• South America has beaches, rain forest, and carnivals• You should pack short sleeve shirts, shorts, bathing

suits, flip flops, and shoes.

THE END

• I liked this biome project. It was fun to learn about electric eels. It was easy to learn how to do a power point. I want to do a power point about Lady Gaga. I also want to do a power point about my girlfriends, teachers, teacher’s aides, and classmates.
