k we still don’t know how some eels mate, so maybe they were on to something

no. Gravity is consistently pulling at 9.85m/s regardless of the size or density in an object.

Terminal velocity is reference to the air resistance and buoyancy affect on an object in freefall. This has nothing to do with the mass or size of the object, but it’s air resistance.

Gravity is (mostly) consistent across the planet and will always pull the same force regardless of the object in question.
