NY Aquarium asks for help in naming electric eel

The tank at the New York Aquarium has been buzzing lately withthe arrival of the newest member of its underwater family, anelectric eel. Only this creature has yet to be named, and that’swhere the Aquarium staff wants your help.

Sea life lovers far and wide are asked to go to the Aquarium’swebsite and to participate in their Watts My Name? campaign for thenew arrival. Will it be Eelijah Wood, Eelian Gonzalez or a name forthe creature of your own creation?

Electric eels aren’t actually eels – their biologicalclassification is actually closer to a catfish. But with theability to generate 650 volts, five times the power of a standardelectrical outlet, don’t tell the eel.
