Continuing with some more animal read and talk, here is one more. The Image I have captured from the book is of an Electric Eel. This has Three electric organs in its body. It catches its prey by giving them electric shocks. These can stun or kill a fish and even send humans to hospital. Scary, isn't it? The image is taken by me through mobile. "First Animal Encyclopedia" by Penguin Random House

It's fun to know about these interesting animals. I enjoyed my paper in Masters called Animals and Animal Behaviour.It was fascinating.

@arunima25 I heard about a joint named Maggi Uncle as well! Both of my parents were teaching in North campus so I am a bit familiar with the area but not the eating places..

@RebeccasFarm Deep sea divers need to be very careful and not be caught in Electric Eel attack.

They are scary, but so interesting. I worry about them when my kids go scuba diving. Sharks, too!

Scary indeed. I wanted to know more on the electric eel and found out that if you get multiple shocks you could drown and get heart or respiratory failure

@GreatMartin Yet some cross the limits of adventure and put themselves at peril.
