Explanation writing Arli fresh water eels

Kia Ora guys and gals today i would like to share a piece of writing that i have been working on this week enjoy.

The jet black muscular body layered with many sheets of transparent slime that the texture of it feels like pva glue peeling of your hands satisfyingly belonging to the large magnificent freshwater eel which is what I will be sharing its life cycle with you today.

It's all starts when these magnificent creatures slip away from there fresh water homes (usually lurking in any freshwater creek, river or lake smelling with their strong sense of smell seeking any type of meat that they can stumble upon) as i was saying they separate from their home in autumn and swim to an unknown yet to be discovered breeding ground thousands of miles off the new zealand coastline into the tropical seas of the pacific

The larger and older eels then lay their eggs then the male eel will fertilize them. Unfortunately these unusual but satisfying and beautiful creatures die after the spawning process. These eggs that hatch into little larvae that rise to the surface of their breeding ground and drift through the magical blue ocean all the way to new Zealand's water compartments and of course to keep the eel species alive they restart the cycle.
