Most powerful electric eel ever discovered 發佈於 2019-10-18 @ http://bit.ly/2BIgQge

Rivers can be a place full of dangerous and powerful creatures.
你知道我現在在想哪一個動物嗎?
(SFX: crocodile hissing sounds )
Nope, I'm not thinking of the crocodile. Although crocodiles are dangerous
creatures.
Crocodiles are very strong animals that have a lot of sharp teeth. This makes
them seem very dangerous.
There is a creature that is just as dangerous as the crocodile. It might even
be more dangerous.
比鱷魚更危險的動物，你猜得出來嗎?
(SFX: snake hissing)
No, it's not the snake. Even though snakes can sometimes bite!
而且咬到會很痛喔!
(SFX: angry hippo sounds)
No, it's not the hippopotamus - or hippo - for short. Even though hippos are
also very large and powerful creatures. 不是蛇，也不是河馬。
I'm thinking of the eel! 如果說是鰻魚你會很驚訝嗎?
Did you know that some eels are electric? (SFX: electricity sounds)
這是真的! Some eels are able to shock other fish with electricity!
Electric eels do this when they hunt. They shock other fish with electricity
to stun them and then they become lunch for the eel.
And researchers have found a very powerful eel in the Amazon. This eel is the
most powerful one ever found.
(SFX: more electricity sounds)
This eel can generate 860 volts of electricity. It is the strongest amount of
electricity ever recorded in an eel. 這種電鰻可以發出860伏特的電流。
That is about eight times more powerful than the electricity that comes out
your electrical outlets at home!
That would be a very painful electric shock. If I'm ever in the Amazon, I
hope I don't meet an electric eel!
