The fourth, B. priscus, ranged across steppe environments from Western Europe, through Central Asia, East Asia including Japan,and onto North America.

Electric Eels are found in the waters of South America, and are capable of generating a 500volt electric shock through 28ft of still water. The shock that the electric eel produces is enough to harm any large mammal, including humans.
