00;00;00;00 - 00;00;20;25
Speaker 1
Okay. Today I want to talk about the mysteriousness of eels.
00;00;20;27 - 00;00;42;24
Speaker 1
What do you find most interesting?
00;00;42;26 - 00;01;11;22
Speaker 1
I don't know, I don't know enough about them to know.
00;01;11;25 - 00;01;18;28
Speaker 1
Sure.
00;01;19;01 - 00;03;42;29
Speaker 1
Tell me everything.
00;03;43;02 - 00;05;14;10
Speaker 1
You said that we don't know much about their breeding, but. So scientists can't breed them in captivity.
00;05;14;12 - 00;07;11;16
Speaker 1
No. I'm good. Can I, Tell me more about how electric eels work?
00;07;11;19 - 00;09;01;16
Speaker 1
You mentioned how they're more like catfish than regular eels. Can you go into that?
00;09;01;18 - 00;10;49;28
Speaker 1
How do they sense electricity? To communicate with each other.
00;10;50;00 - 00;13;31;27
Speaker 1
Two scientists have any insight on how this started from an evolutionary basis.
00;13;31;29 - 00;15;35;05
Speaker 1
You mentioned electric rays. what kind of other animals generate electric fields?
00;15;35;07 - 00;17;36;03
Speaker 1
How do electric eels and rays prevent from stunning themselves when they let off? electric shock.
00;17;36;05 - 00;18;33;22
Speaker 1
Could one electric eel shock another? Electric eel?
00;18;33;24 - 00;19;47;19
Speaker 1
Does the intensity of this shock depend on the size of the eel?
00;19;47;22 - 00;20;59;04
Speaker 1
Can you give me some stats on the voltage and amperage that some of the larger eels can put off?
00;20;59;06 - 00;22;43;28
Speaker 1
It's hard to imagine without actually being shocked by one. Like, how do they compare to just regular tasers that you would buy in the store?
00;22;44;01 - 00;23;01;14
Speaker 1
So what is the differing effects?
00;23;01;16 - 00;25;25;03
Speaker 1
Right. I understand that, but if you were to get shocked by one, what is the difference in how it feels and how it affects your body?
00;25;25;06 - 00;26;24;20
Speaker 1
Okay. This has been actually really interesting. Before we go today, can you tell me, like, one? Really cool. Interesting thing about electric eels that you don't think I would know?
00;26;24;23 - 00;26;38;02
Speaker 1
That's pretty gnarly.
00;26;38;04 - 00;26;41;00
Speaker 1
Thanks.
