[00:00:00]This fish is paralyzed. There was no time to react. This is the electric eel.

[00:00:07]It hunts blind in muddy water.

[00:00:10]It pulses electricity into the dark.

[00:00:13]Every hidden fish twitches. Then, it strikes.

[00:00:18]It coils tight around its prey, doubling the voltage instantly. 860 volts, enough to stop a horse. Heart stopped, muscles locked, brain shut down. It can fire this shock again and again until nothing alive is left. Now the water is silent, and the electric eel isn't an eel at all. It is a knifefish, more closely related to catfish than to any eel.

[00:00:46]Named for what it looks like, not what it is. A freshwater hunter from the Amazon, hidden in plain sight for over 200 years.
