How long can a lough neagh eel survive on land?

Lough Neagh eels, like other eels, can survive on land for a limited time, typically around 24 to 48 hours, provided they remain moist. They possess a unique ability to breathe through their skin, which allows them to survive out of water for short periods. However, their survival is heavily dependent on environmental conditions, such as humidity and temperature. Prolonged exposure to dry conditions can be fatal.
