  • - Where is it?

  • - I put it over there.

  • - By the couch?

  • - Yeah.

  • - Oh.

  • An electric eel, magnificent.

  • Our submarine is docked here, in the Amazon River.

  • - We could have gone to the Orinoco River

  • but our dear Desiree wouldn't fit.

  • This is the only other place in the world

  • to find electric eels.

  • - Exactement mon chéri.

  • Electric eels are quite the peculiar species.

  • They're like aquatic batteries.

  • The majority of their body is made up of organs

  • that produce electricity.

  • Listen, you can hear it.

  • (electric static sound)

  • They're also obligate air breathers,

  • which means they must surface every ten minutes or so

  • to breathe above water.

  • Scientists at Vanderbilt University, you know, hold on.

  • Let's get Kenneth on the line.

  • Bonjour Kenneth, so I hear your team has some interesting

  • findings, eh?

  • - Yeah, we discovered something really remarkable

  • so when you threaten or corner an electric eel

  • it can leap out of the water and put its chin onto you

  • so that the current is sent straight through your body

  • and back down to the water giving maximal shock.

  • - How, shocking.

  • Now how do these eels generate all that electricity?

  • - Well, they have modified muscles that in the course

  • of evolution are now just used to generate electricity.

  • And they line these up in series to generate high voltages

  • and create a very powerful shock.

  • - Thanks Kenneth, and say hi to the missus for me, okay.

  • These eels might be dangerous but once they shock

  • their prey they need time to recharge.

  • So, you probably won't get shocked.

  • - Are we safe?

  • There's no cover on the tank.

  • - Yeah, sure.

- Where is it?
