A Slithery Rescue

Occurred on January 27, 2023 / Waiheke Island, Auckland, New Zealand

Info from Licensor: "During the storms and flooding in New Zealand, I went outside and found an eel wriggling across the pavement. In shock I thought 'we don't have snakes in New Zealand!' - Then realised it had climbed out of the stream! I wanted to help get it back in the stream, but was grossed out by the thought of touching it and feeling how slimey it is... What unfolded was a comedic series of events of trying to rescue the animal, but freaking out in the process!"
