Check out Lucy Cooke's "The Truth About Animals": https://bit.ly/TruthAboutAnimals --From Ancient Greece to the 20th century, Aristotle, Freud, and numerous other scholars were all looking for the same thing: eel testicles. Freshwater eels could be found in rivers across Europe, but no one had ever seen them mate and no researcher could find eel eggs or identify their reproductive organs. So how do eels reproduce, and where do they do it? Lucy Cooke digs into the ancient mystery.Lesson by Lucy Cooke, directed by Anton Bogaty.Animator's website: https://www.instagram.com/anton_bogaty/Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterSupport us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagramView full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/no-one-can-figure-out-how-eels-have-sex-lucy-cookeThank you so much to our patrons for your support!
