Eel
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Eels, from the family Anguillidae, live in rivers and come to the sea to lay their eggs. These ani-
mals, which weigh approximately 4 kg (nine pounds) and are 1.5 meters (seven feet) long, li-
ve for some 10 to 15 years.
Several species of eel have no scales on their hard and slippery skin. These animals have very
strong tails, which they use like digging tools. Some eels are carnivorous, and thus have po-
werful teeth and jaws.
Despite the passage of 95 million years, eels have preserved all the characteristics they were
first created with. They have never evolved and turned into any other species, but have exis-
ted for tens of millions of years with the same complex features. All fossils prove that Allah
creates living things and that life forms never evolved.
