Discover the animal that can give electric shocks!

Transcript

Did you know there's a fish that can deliver a powerful electric shock? Meet the electric eel. This remarkable creature has the extraordinary power to give electric shocks to any animal that touches it, including humans. These curious fish are found in the stagnant pools of South America. The electric eel isn't particularly fierce, but it uses its electric organs as its only way to hunt for prey and to defend itself from predators like alligators. Interestingly, this power isn't endless. After repeated discharges, the eels become like discharged batteries and can no longer give strong shocks. In fact, local Indians would drive horses into the pools to make the eels exhaust their electric charge, allowing for a safe capture. So, the electric eel uses its shocking ability as a powerful tool for both offense and defense in its watery home.
