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.
