Self-Shocking Electric Eels

from Question of the Week, from the Naked Scientists · host Dr Chris Smith

This week, we find out how Electric Eels avoid a self-shock when stunning their prey, and we ask some smelly questions; what gives an old book it's distinctive smell, and does a strong smell mean a lot of odour in the air, or do our noses play tricks on us?
