eel's
Electric swimmer's possession
Eel's is the possessive form of eel, the elongated, snakelike fish found in both fresh and salt water.
The form attributes something to an eel: an eel's slippery skin, the eel's migration patterns.
Because eels are notoriously difficult to grasp, the phrase slippery as an eel describes someone evasive or hard to pin down—making an eel's elusiveness almost proverbial.
