DNA researchers have discovered two completely new species of electric eels in the Amazon Basin.

Tokyo, AFP. DNA researchers have discovered two completely new species of electric eels in the Amazon Basin. One of them gives a record-breaking blow.

Researchers say the discovery is evidence that the Amazon rainforest has amazing variations. Which are still far from human reach. Therefore it is very important to protect this rainforest.

Eel is the only species of fish.

Zoologist C. David Santana, who worked with the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, reported that despite all human influences in the past 50 years, many species of organisms can still be discovered in the Amazon.

Researchers reported that electric eel is a type of eel species. The first electric battery was designed, inspired by the electric eel.

Survey on electric eels and other bun wildlife

For centuries it has been believed that only a single species, Gatherer Amazonia, is found in the entire Amazon region, including Brazil, Suriname, Guiana, but De Santana and his team have traveled far and wide to South America. Initiated a survey to understand electric eels and other wildlife in parts.

Two new species of an electric eel

At first sight, they found little difference between organisms collected from different parts of the Amazon Basin. But further analysis of the DNA of 107 samples revealed two completely new species of electric eels.

The names of these species are Electrophorus voltage and Electrophorus vari. With this, scientists told that Voltai shocks up to 860 volts. It is the most powerful current created naturally. This research has been published in the journal Nature Communications.
