The Sting

Q: When were eels first discovered? What did people think they were when they discovered them?

A: No one is sure when the first eel was discovered since it happened so very long ago. As the poster points out www.enaturalist.org at first they thought they were a kind of cross between a snake and a fish since that's what they looked like.
