The video explores the fascinating electric eel, a knifefish found in South America's tropical rivers. It generates electric shocks using bioelectrical organs with electroplates, similar to a battery. The eel's nervous system coordinates these shocks to stun prey, relying on water impurities for conductivity. Despite its powerful shocks, the eel's skin provides resistance, preventing self-electrocution.
