The Long-nosed elephant fish is used by water departments in the U.S. and Germany to test the quality of drinking water. When the quality of the water declines the amount of electrical pulses released increases. This is scientifically measurable.
Elephant-nose fish are depicted in ancient Egyptian tombs dating from around 2500 BC.
