How do you X-ray an eel? You’re about to find out! When our ectotherm keepers noticed that one of the eleven New Zealand longfin eels in our care had a slight bend in its back, they contacted our zoo veterinary team so they could investigate this further. While there isn’t much information about this procedure on longfin eels (a rare event that could even be a New Zealand first!), Dr James Chatterton and the team have experience taking X-rays of sharks and fish using these methods.

The Australian long-finned eel, also known as the speckled longfin eel, lives in freshwater rivers and lakes across Australia and New Zealand. After many years, adult eels make a long one-way journey to the Coral Sea near New Caledonia to spawn🐍 Their larvae, called leptocephalus, drift back toward the coast on ocean currents. As they get closer to land, they change into juveniles also known as Glass Eels, that swim upstream to freshwater, where they grow and mature 🌊 #irukandji #canchangethew
