Eels live in rivers but they migrate to Sargaso Sea off the east coast of the USA to breed. Then they die. On their way downstream baby eels take 3 years to drift back across the Atlantic from the Sargasso Sea. The young eels swim up rivers, where they live for 20 years. Eels sometimes leave the water and travel across the river bank.
