Preview:
In this episode of Dangerous Encounters, Dr. Brady Barr travels to the heart of the Central Suriname Nature Preserve with Dr. William Crampton of University of Central Florida in search of an incredibly dangerous fish, the electric eel. Upon arrival to the reserve, Brady observes that the water levels of the Coppename River are extremely high making the finding of this creature a much more difficult task. Eventually after some intense searching, Brady finds his first eel and his capture results begin to improve. Assisted by Will Crampton and the local Maroon community, Brady learns about electroreception in these fishes and the habitat that they live in. Along the way Brady will encounter venomous snakes and swarming piranhas, and the rare Suriname Toad.
