GMac Big Wave Attack: North Canyon
The Amazon is one of the wildest and least civilized parts of the planet, but little do we know... in the network of rivers and streams is an electric grid - a bizarre community of fish with a highly sophisticated electric sixth sense. Using electricity, these Super fish can communicate wirelessly, control each other remotely and emit shocks that can stop a human heart. This cryptic world has mystified scientists throughout the ages. Now an intrepid scientist, Will Crampton, ventures back into the dark jungles where the inspiration for our technology-driven world first emerged, in an attempt to unravel their secrets and unlock the electric code. The Amazon basin encompasses 6 countries and 2 million square miles of forest, river and floodplain. It has the highest diversity of life on the planet, but what lies below is truly shocking. In its deep muddy rivers, clear streams and expansive floodplains a freak-show of fish life has exploded, with some of the strangest shapes and weirdest adaptations on Earth. All fish have an electric capacity to pick up hints about the world around them and to gather information on other life forms in the water. The Amazon fish have just taken this spark of potential a whole lot further. While life goes on above the surface, this bizarre community has been using complex electrical signals to communicate, locate mates, defend themselves, and to hunt, for millions of years. Professor Crampton, armed with his own electric devices, will uncover a deep-water world of electric warfare. He uncovers rare behavior, as the never before filmed Jaw Lockers fight for dominance using their elongated jaws, a Knife fish that eats only the tails of other electric fish and the remarkable hunting technique of the largest electric fish, the Electric eel. Professor Cramptons equipment not only reveals the electric sounds, but it can pinpoint the exact species. He can discern whether a new species is at large just by putting his headphones on. With help from his specialized equipment, he records fish pulses and illustrates that each has a different electric fingerprint. Hell measure the charge of the Electric eel, and take a look at how it generates and stores electrical charges up to 1000 volts, and can even remotely control its prey. The Electric Eel was a genuine precursor to our modern way of life. Today it continues to fascinate scientists and inspire new technologies with its futuristic technology.
