electric fish

$20.00 
Incredibly beautiful book dedicated to fish that are able to generate electricity. These unusual fish live in rivers, seas and oceans around the world. Scientists have not yet fully studied their biology and lifestyle. Water serves as a conductor of electricity for them, and electricity helps these animals adapt to the environment and increase their chances of survival. From this book you will learn how electric fish work, how they use their ability to produce electrical discharges, where they live and what their place in history and culture is.

In short:
