Digging up a nearly 1 meter long yellow eel in the guava garden
The yellow eel that Mr. Nguyen Van Lang visited the guava garden and dug up and caught. This slippery eel is nearly 1 meter (90cm) long and weighs 500 grams.
Recently, Mr. Nguyen Van Lang in Long Hoa hamlet, Tan Long commune (Nga Nam town, Soc Trang province) while visiting the guava garden discovered an eel cave under the ditch of his house. After nearly 30 minutes of digging the cave, Mr. Lang caught a slippery eel with a very unusual golden color...
“When I first pulled the eel out of the cave, I saw that it had a different shiny yellow color compared to the other eels. I was startled, but I tried to calm down to bring the eel into the house and weigh it. It weighed more than 500 grams and was 90cm long. I found the eel so strange that I kept it in a jar to watch,” said Mr. Lang.
Hearing that Mr. Lang had caught a strange yellow slippery eel, many people in the neighborhood came to see.
Recently, some people in the Western provinces have caught yellow eels weighing from a few hundred grams to more than 1kg. Many people believe that these may be eels with genetic mutations.
