Digged up a nearly 1 meter long yellow eel in the guava garden
The yellow eel that Mr. Nguyen Van Lang dug up and caught when he visited the guava garden. This slippery eel is nearly 1 meter (90cm) long and weighs 500g.
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 golden 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 90 cm long. I found the eel so strange that I kept it in a jar to watch it for fun,” said Mr. Lang.
Hearing that Mr. Lang caught a strange yellow eel, many people in the neighborhood came to see.
Recently, some people in the Western provinces have caught yellow eels from a few hundred grams to more than 1kg. Many people believe that these may be eels with genetic mutations.
