00:00 What we see here in front of us is a three and a half foot electric eel capable of producing
00:09 an electric shock up to 860 volts, enough to take down a horse.
00:16 To put that in perspective, that's about eight times the voltage of your household outlet.
00:23 So what if a beast like the jaguar came face to face with this fish?
00:30 The Amazon basin, one of the most mysterious regions in the world.
00:34 Here several species hide in the forests and within these dark waters, and some of them
00:41 are extremely deadly.
00:44 The mesmerizing gaze and hunting prowess of the jaguar have earned them a prominent place
00:49 in mythology and legend.
00:51 Their beauty, strength and adaptability have earned them the respect of feline admirers
00:56 around the world.
00:58 However, a jaguar can be defeated by several animals.
01:04 This fish is like an electric battery.
01:06 Its negative pole is located at the front and the positive pole is at the back of the
01:11 animal's body.
01:13 The shock can become stronger when the predator tries to bite it hard.
01:19 Like the situation with this dog, who does not even know which animal he is facing.
01:27 But what happens when a jaguar attacks an electric fish?
01:31 Well, this should rarely happen, or at least it was never recorded in images.
01:36 According to some research, the shock of this fish can kill a grown person and even a horse.
01:42 So it could also kill a jaguar.
01:45 The electric fish is not a creature to play with.
