A much better title would be "Electric eel found to be three distinct species"<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_eel" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_eel</a><p>3 more crazy electric eel facts [0] you may not have known, I didn't:<p>- "Electric eels are also capable of controlling their prey's nervous systems with their electrical abilities; by controlling their victim's nervous system and muscles via electrical pulses, they can keep prey from escaping or force it to move so they can locate its position."<p>- "They can also concentrate the discharge by curling up and making contact at two points along its body."<p>- "When agitated, they can produce these intermittent electric shocks over at least an hour without tiring."<p>[0] That is referring to crazy facts about electric eels, not facts about crazy electric eels.
