This Alligator Will Die From 860 Volts

Electric eels don't get depressed, they try to remain positive.

It’s absolutely insane that we just accept a creature like this could do such an impossible thing. An animal is able to produce a deadly amount of electrical voltage with just its natural born organs. Nature is so fascinating.

I love the electric eel. It's simply stunning!

Those Electric eels must have a hell of a time breeding

A prayer for the dude who found out the eels were electric🙏

You could THEORETICALLY defibrillate someone with an electric eel in an emergency situation. But i think you are more likely to find a defibrillator than an electric eel

I used to train my graduates by a 1000v insulation resistance tester. They come out of university all sure of themselves with their degree, formulas and copied notation, but still never understood electricity at its heart. They did when I had finished training them 😂. Always did the experiments on myself first and all participants volunteered knowing fully what was going to happen. Although maybe alarming to some, when you are in the know it’s all calculated and proved. They left my training true engineers and could understand any electrical problem posed with time to reflect on it of course. Had to run it through the HR department and HSE department first literally. Fun times but a brilliant learning tool used correctly.

I have searched why electric eels don't get electrocuted by their own shocks, and it's a fascinating subject to read about

The eel is a cool guy.. really positive and grounded

"Going for a swim in a Venezuelan swamp" has NEVER crossed my mind!

How cruel to let that German Shepherd knowingly bite an electric eel and then laugh about it. Sick.

As a young kid I was shocked once by our oven at 220-240 volts. I lost control of my arm for a few minutes. Lesson learned. Don't play with electricity in any form.

Some animals have really earned the right to be recorded into the Pokédex

Animals who can change colours, using ecolocation, produce electricity, change its size, have its own light bulb, These are literally SUPER POWERS!!!!

The crazy part to me is that they're in the same water and apparently don't get shocked, even when 100 of them get together and team-zap.

That Alligator thought he was going for an easy snack and came to a shocking conclusion

As an electrical engineer, I will always follow eel’s orders because he is in charge.

6:53 is where you’ll find the answer, so you can bypass the history of everything ever having to do with anything remotely related to anything sounding somewhat like the topic.

They used to have electric eel in a zoo. Back in New York. I don't know if they still have them today. But every day at 3 o'clock, they would put something in the water. The eel would touch it and go lectured with light up a bunch of lights. It was one of the main attractions.

As a Marine my dad was in the eastern pacific and saw a fisherman on a pier. He lifted a cover off one of these an hour after it was caught and got shocked very strong.
