Recent research has revealed that what was once thought to be a single species of electric eel is actually three distinct species, including the newly named Volta's electric eel. These eels can grow over 2 meters long and deliver powerful electric shocks. Surprisingly, they have been observed hunting cooperatively in large groups, a behavior previously unknown. This discovery was made in a lake in Brazil, where eels work together to herd and stun fish.

Further research is needed to understand these fascinating creatures better.
