Do all our eels come from the Sargasso Sea?

It took the scientists many years to track down the life history of the common eel   and the amazing facts are still hard to believe.  The eels in our ponds and creeks are females and one day each will start back along the rivers to the ocean. At the sea, she will join her sisters and thousands of male eels that wait there. Together, they will voyage out to the weedy waters of the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic ocean near Bermuda.

There the females will lay their eggs and die. The glas.3y little babies will start out on the return ocean voyage with no one to guide them. The males will stay near the sea, The females will try up streams and even over land. In six or seven years, they too will return to repeat the amazing lif a cycle.
