Shocking Wonders: The Electric Eel

In this throwback episode, Chris and Angie dive deep into the mysterious world of the electric eel. Despite its name, this incredible creature is actually a type of knifefish, not a true eel. Join us as we explore what makes the electric eel so unique—from its powerful electric shocks used for hunting and navigation, to its bizarre physiology that allows it to generate up to 860 volts of electricity! We also cover the evolutionary history of these freshwater predators, how they’ve adapted to life in the murky waters of South America, and the surprising ways they communicate using electricity. Plus, learn about their current conservation status and why protecting their habitat is essential to maintaining freshwater biodiversity. =========================================================== Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.
