Electric eels can emit some of the largest shocks in the animal kingdom - but why don't they shock themselves?

Horizontal gene transfer might not be the flashiest of names, but animals are using it to create genetic hybrids without a human in sight. Like frogs rocking the DNA snippets of snakes, and fish sharing antifreeze superpowers.

Almost everything we know about the reproductive practices of European eels comes from a genius study conducted more than 100 years ago.

Everyone makes mistakes, but misidentifying a species more than 100 times? It happened. In this List Show, we tell the tale of the periwinkle snail and other creatures scientists confused for someone else. <br/>

Ready your puns, viewers! From sick worm kings to uncomfortable floating snakes, today's episode is all about four types of animals that can get tied up in knots (either intentionally or...knot).

7 Animals Called By The Wrong Name

After stalking a cuttlefish, a moray eel finally pounces. As the eel snags the mollusk in its teeth, its prey struggles to escape. But before it can wiggle away, a second set of teeth lunge from the eel's throat. This adaptation is...

Ancient civilizations developed clever solutions to their unique challenges and environments, and learning from those engineers can help us build a greener world today.

They're slippery. They're slithery. And while they totally look like underwater snakes, eels are, in fact, unique fish that can breathe through their skin and even survive out of water. James Prosek tracks the life journey of Eli the...

We’ve long thought that electric eels hunt individually…until we discovered a lake where one species hunt, and zap, in packs!

Scientists have found 80,000-year-old modern human teeth in a Chinese cave, challenging the most widely accepted timelines of human migration. And electric eels use electricity to both attack and track their prey!

In tropical seas, flying fish leap out of the water, gliding for up to 200 meters, before dipping back into the sea. In the Indo-Pacific, a hunting sailfish swims up to 110 kilometers per hour. These feats are made possible by a fish's...

Humans don't have interconnected teeth for slicing, or a secondary set of jaws to clamp down on prey already in our mouths, however, the rest of our animal kingdom is full of strange and awesome adaptations.

Picking common and scientific names is a puzzle of taxonomy, and sometimes we end up naming huge frogs "Mountain Chickens". So, let's figure out this puzzle.

The European eel is a mysterious fish. They live for years without any reproductive organs, which made people very confused about where eels came from, all the way back to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. And up until recently,...

You’d think that animals adapted to life in the open ocean would ignore arbitrary distinctions like ‘Pacific’ and ‘Atlantic.’ But they don’t. Or, at least, this month’s Bizarre Beasts, the sea snakes, don’t… Because, despite being...

Loch Ness Mystery Solved – It's Not a Giant Eel!

it looks like a swampy green husk. But when lit by a flashlight from behind, the slimy pouch reveals the slithering specter of a shark embryo within. And apparently, Jaws Jr. is none too pleased about the bright light shining into its home.

In this video, we explore a variety of fascinating and sometimes scary sea creatures. From sea snakes with potent venom to the bizarre-looking red lipped batfish, we learn about their unique adaptations and behaviors. We also discover...

In this video, we explore the fascinating world of aquatic monsters, from giant squids to eels without scales. We learn that these creatures, unlike legendary monsters, actually exist in our present-day oceans. The giant squid, reaching...
