Life is very different underwater, and the animals that live below the surface experience the world in ways that can be hard to imagine. The American Eel has a keenly developed sense of touch, allowing it to detect the presence of other animals nearby that might not be picked up by other senses. Join Nicolas Lapointe from The Canadian Wildlife Federation for more on the deal with eels!
