Today Ivor is an Electric Eel

Ivor (Electrophorus electricus), is a species of fish. He is capable of generating powerful electric shocks, which he uses for both hunting and self-defense. He is a
top predator in his
South American
range. Despite his name he is not an
eel
at all but rather a
knifefish.

Amy and Sam are lucky that they can not see Ivor today, because if they were around him they would have to fear being shocked. I am sure that Karla--who always trips on him--will be electricuted before the day is done.
