Miguel the Eel lights his own Christmas Tree at the Tennessee Aquarium

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – The Tennessee Aquarium is hosting a special tree lighting ceremony to kick off the holiday season.

The Tennessee Aquarium’s Electric Eel adds a “Shocking around the Christmas Tree” program offered as part of the Aquarium’s Holidays Under the Peaks celebration.

His name is Miguel Wattson.

Miguel lets an electric shock out when he is happy, and it lights the lights of a nearby Christmas tree.
