Larike Village Eels

Tony Wu has added an article and video of a fascinating visit to the village of Larike, Ambon, Indonesia. He managed to get to the village at the end of the Wetpixel Ambon Night safari, and Tony had some very close encounters with the eels which live in a river near the village. He was alerted to the presence of the eels by Hafes Mansur Lausepa, one of the team at Maluku Divers, who also happens to be Raja of Larike village. Hafes describes the eels:

“They are completely harmless and quite curious”.
