Thomas Edison electrocuted an elephant to prove the dangers of alternating current.
Today's Question:
Identify the "living fossil" with 12 legs, 10 eyes, blue blood and the ability to see in the UV spectrum of light.
Sounds like a deep water creature but since a living fossil is a creature that was once only known as a fossil and then was found to still live this seems unlikely.
