here's a story taken from my alt tag to this...
One time when I was a kid, we were fishing in the grounds of the nearby university. We caught an eel, well I didn't, I was just hanging out with friends who were fishing, but anyways, they caught a river eel - horrible things - so they threw it to the neighbour-dog who used to follow me around. He eats it whole and LIVE. It was somehwere between hilarious and nauseating. He kept coughing and stumbling sideways as it wriggled in his stomach. Our laughter was the worried laughter of young kids who thought they may have accidentally done something really, really bad. About an hour later we went home, and as usual he followed us, although his sideways stumbling and asthmatic sounding barks were less than reassuring. He had one final coughing fit - we thought he might die - and coughed a whole, live, and semi-digested eel onto the pavement, where it wriggled down into a drain. It was very gross.

You know they can cross land? I've seen them do it... they'll leave a lake, and cross to a stream.
