Eels Shouldn’t be Able to Exist
No AI is used in this documentary. How can a creature live all its life without being seen to reproduce? Why do eels vanish into the sea, only to return years later — changed beyond recognition? And what secrets lie in the silent waters where their journey ends… and begins again?
Narrated by the fantastic Steve Taylor, a real voice you may find familiar! This is not an AI voice.
And with Leo Richards from @NaturalWorldFacts, the co-producer, working to make these episodes beautiful, yet deeply scientific.
Relax, enjoy, and learn about the Deep Sea!
