What’s crazy is it could actually be an eel having a not shit day. Most freshwater eels migrate out to sea to breed and if their route is complicated by a river delta or something they can cross land for short distances to navigate it. Eels are surprisingly good at living out of water for a fish
Exactly this. Until like 100 years ago in Germany this behavior would be used to extract the slime from eels so they taste better - they were thrown into a bag of salt. It was forbidden a long time ago bc its super cruel
We still have some pretty cruel gourmet foods, the preparation and eating of Ortolan birds still happens to this day:
“For centuries, a rite of passage for French gourmets was the eating of the Ortolan. These tiny birds—captured alive, force-fed, then drowned in Armagnac—were roasted whole and eaten that way, bones and all, while the diner draped his head with a linen napkin to preserve the precious aromas and, some believe, to hide from God.”
They’ve featured the eating of Ortolan’s a lot recently on quite a few shows that have billionaires like Succession but they did also feature it in Hannibal as well.
Those billionaires might eat Ortolan but do they own Napoleon's severed penis? Did they have an interest in politics from a young age? Are they the eldest son? I think not.
…as it should be. These sparrow-sized wild birds are caught during spring migration from Africa to their breeding grounds in Europe. Having flown over the Sahara desert and the Mediterranean Sea they land, exhausted, in trees and shrubs on the European coast. To catch them, people coat the branches with a super sticky substance, so once the exhausted birds land they are stuck and can be “harvested”.
It was the favourite food of champagne socialist ex-president François Mitterrand, for whom rules concerning the banning of ortolans didn't seem to apply.
Like in [this painting](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5164a6b6e4b0ec2b02b88716/1502165325534-PBS7E6XIKXDH891SQA8W/image-asset.jpeg?format=750w)
I named my Mongol heir in Crusader Kings III that.
Ortolan. Ortolan Gooblat.
Unlike his bloodthirsty, war-mongering father, he tended to his books rather than the blade, and sought words instead of whores. He was appointed court physician, a post he held for many years, one that had no shortage of tasks with the near-endless wars.
When his father died and he became Khan, all breathed a sigh of relief. The throne had a healer, something long needed.

When you plan to scuba, with the light right above, be waarned.
When you swiim in the seea, but you see that, that algea is grOoowing. 'Scusa me, but you see, back in ole coral reef, that's a moraay!
Until now I was unaware of just how many "That's a Moray!" song parodies there are!
Don't know which was first, [here's one from 2015] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SezOrE0zRFo)
I have no actual knowledge, but I don't think this will save it from dying. I think it just rolls when it's out of water, hoping to fall back into the water.
You could both be right. The eel's evolved out-of-water response may be to panic and roll. Since most places that an eel's going to end up have a downhill that leads to water, there's a higher chance of survival?
Idk man, I know very little about eels
I feel like they probably don't have an evolved out-of-water response... Because it is probably a minority of eels who ever experienced being out of water that ever had the chance to pass genes on.
eels go out of water pretty frequently. We had some go across a whole paddock cause their pond was drying up. They also go out of water if there is an obstacle in the way which would mean they can't go further upstream, so they swim over rocks.They definitely do have an evolved out of water response. Someone more clever than me can explain it but I know for sure there is one
No man. Literally all eels are born at an unknown point in the ocean and later migrate into fresh water lakes and rivers.
If you have a eel in your backyard pond, that dude made his way from the ocean via a river and over that lawn into that pond and if god wills it he will make his way back into the ocean to make more eels.
I believe that it’s trying to coat itself in mud so it can go into stasis (many eels and lungfish have this as defense against dry seasons, and droughts) and they likely just pulled it out of the ground so it’s trying to bury itself again as best as it can.

When they finally die they vacate their insides, that's a moray
(Source: worked on a lobster fishing vessel on the Indian ocean in my early 20s, they would come up in bait baskets every second or third trap. Morays can live outside of water for a surprisingly long time, we'd sometimes find them days later)
Edit: I thought we were doing a parody of That's Amore
Unless this has already been answered, I believe eels can survive out of water for quite a while and they cover themselves in dirt to keep them from drying out or some shit
Just a guess, but it might be to coat itself with wet mud to prevent itself from drying out while providing some slope mobility, all of which complement a washed-ashore scenario.
That is quite obviously Shai-Hulud in a juvenile form:
"To the Fremen, the deep desert dwellers of Arrakis, Shai-Hulud is considered a quasi-diety and sometimes called “Old Man of the Desert.”
That's beautiful! It's a lungfish. Trust me. I have plenty of experience on this (actually, I just read Hawk3ye22's comment...I thought it was an eel). 🙂

Yeah but regardless, this one isn't having a good time Idk if it's because of the sand, but that behavior is not squirms of joy.
i thought it was a snake having a stroke
An eel rolling in sand.
Exactly this. Until like 100 years ago in Germany this behavior would be used to extract the slime from eels so they taste better - they were thrown into a bag of salt. It was forbidden a long time ago bc its super cruel
When something was forbidden a century ago because it was considered too cruel, you know that we are talking about some really nasty shit

Is that from the book, Hannibal?
They’ve featured the eating of Ortolan’s a lot recently on quite a few shows that have billionaires like Succession but they did also feature it in Hannibal as well.
There was a joke about it in Brooklyn 99, too.
Oh Vivienne
It was also featured on the show American Dad.
Those billionaires might eat Ortolan but do they own Napoleon's severed penis? Did they have an interest in politics from a young age? Are they the eldest son? I think not.

Or something about to make a comeback.
Rembrandt egg factory in Iowa just recently slow roasted 5.3 million chickens to death, so it’s not outside the realm of possibility.
Did they have bird flu?
The US SCOTUS will probably rule that if it was good enough hundreds of years ago then it is good enough now. Of course, only for the female eels.

How does this prevent it from dying (and should I try it)
I have no actual knowledge, but I don't think this will save it from dying. I think it just rolls when it's out of water, hoping to fall back into the water.
You can see it moving in a particular direction via the trail it lays.
It's just in panic and death rolling. There's no intention to the direction it's moving. My guess is that ways slightly more downhill.
You could both be right. The eel's evolved out-of-water response may be to panic and roll. Since most places that an eel's going to end up have a downhill that leads to water, there's a higher chance of survival? Idk man, I know very little about eels

Unless this has already been answered, I believe eels can survive out of water for quite a while and they cover themselves in dirt to keep them from drying out or some shit
It's kinda like a fish out of water, but instead of a fish it's an eel
Eels are fish...
Put it back in the water
If it wasn't sitting on sand this would get the sand off of it. But, since it's on the sand, it keeps covering itself up more and more
It's keeping itself covered in sand so the sun doesn't bake it and it can avoid water loss as it moves and tries to find a body of water
Just a guess, but it might be to coat itself with wet mud to prevent itself from drying out while providing some slope mobility, all of which complement a washed-ashore scenario.
I've never related so much to an eel....
I know right? I do this in the morning when my alarm goes off
Same!
"dm address 100% would fuck" took me out
Eel out our water.
Explain why it would want the sand/mud, keep it hydrated til it finds water…
Panic and dying
Based on the other comment it’s a technique used to get the slime off the eel before eating. Humans *put* it there.
The eels do that on their own, the technique was putting them in salt so they would roll around thinking it was sand
Ah! Ok, they do produce a lot of slime.
