[00:01.400] The eels are highly prized by the locals
[00:03.820] These Solomon Islanders hand feed them, not to fatten them up for dinner
[00:08.110] but to encourage them to stick around
[00:10.610] By scavenging on whatever's decaying here
[00:12.710] the eels clean the islanders' precious pools of drinking water
[00:17.380] And over time, the honorary guests have become tame
[00:21.660] One day, these adult freshwater eels will return to the sea to spawn
[00:27.100] after which they'll die
[00:29.990] For now, they're as good as pets
[00:34.620] Away from the coast, animals are thin on the ground
[00:38.510] The Solomons have only a quarter of the reptiles and birds that New Guinea has
[00:43.820] For mammals like echidnas and kangaroos
[00:46.710] the water proved too great a hurdle
[00:49.560] But some mammals did make it here
[00:52.070] When it comes to reaching new islands
[00:54.050] flying must surely have been the easiest way to get there
[00:57.880] But the 60 miles between New Guinea and the Solomons still proved a formidable challenge for many winged creatures
[01:05.450] With their four-foot wingspans
[01:07.710] giant fruit bats succeeded where other fliers failed
