@c5news: Luckily, they are not snakes. Dozens of eels escaped a man’s bucket on a metro train in China. A video circulating online shows the passenger frantically trying to catch the slippery creatures wriggling across the floor and under seats, prompting commuters to squat down and help catch them with their bare hands. The owner of the eels was carrying three buckets on a Nanjing Metro train on Monday when he accidentally tipped one over. While Nanjing Rail Transit Regulations explicitly prohibit live poultry and pets, including cats and dogs from stations, officials say that live seafood is permitted as long as it is properly sealed. Instead, they are classified as edible aquatic products and are allowed on trains as long as they are kept in a properly sealed, leak-proof container. #5News #eels #snakes #trains #metro
