Electric Eel Shocks Prey With Hidden Battery Power
The electric eel of South America is described as a live wire capable of stunning prey with electrical shocks. Giants may reach six feet, with a tail that regenerates after breakage, and a battery-like organ under the skin powers its shocks. Scientists note uncertainty about how the battery is kept charged and renewed. The piece contrasts factual detail with a political quote about changing minds from two sources.
