In the tropical South China Sea, the sandy seabed of the shallow waters is home to a mysterious and graceful creature. This aquatic fish likes to bury itself halfway in the sand, leaving only its front half exposed to feed on passing plankton. Viewed from a distance, their bodies, swayed by the currents, resemble long grass in a windy garden. Hence, they have an apt and intriguing name: the garden eel. Watch this episode to learn more about this amazing creature.
