Is an eel a mammal, reptile, or amphibian?
Here's the breakdown:
* Eels are not mammals. Mammals have fur or hair, give birth to live young, and nurse their offspring. Eels have scales and lay eggs.
* Eels are not amphibians. Amphibians start life in water with gills, then develop lungs and live on land. Eels live entirely in water.
* Eels are fish. They have scales, fins, and gills.
So, the answer is none of the above. Eels are a type of fish.
