Tame Eels.

Have you ever heard of the Takaka tame eels? A lady has them for pets, in the river flowing in front of her place. After years of patience she managed to tame them, and now they come to her when she flicks the water with her fingers. Within two minutes they come from up and down the river to a certain rock where she can stroke them. They look like big black serpents as they rise out of the water and beg for meat.
