From Wikipedia
The Brantevik Eel (Swedish: Branteviksålen) (before 1859 – before 7 August 2014), also known as Åle, was a European eel (Anguilla anguilla) that is believed to have lived for more than 150 years. The eel was released into a well in the village of Brantevik, Sweden in 1859 by an eight-year-old boy, Samuel Nilsson. On 7 August 2014, Tomas Kjellman, the owner of the property, reported that the eel was found dead and partially decomposed. The eel was sent to an expert to determine the eel's age. The eel's head, presumed lost, was eventually recovered in a freezer. SVT's nature show Mitt i naturen extracted the eel from the well at one point, but put it back.
