Animated video abstract, electric eels hunting as a group (VIDEO)
Caption
An animated video abstract describing newly discovered group-hunting behavior found in electric eels. A team of scientists describe this novel behavior in the Jan. 14 issue of the journal Ecology and Evolution. The findings overturn the idea that these serpentine fish are exclusively solitary predators and open the door to new questions about how these little-understood fish live.
