Electric Eel
Fish
A fascinating South American freshwater fish that has special organs taking up most of its body, allowing it to generate powerful electric shocks to stun prey and defend itself.
💡 Fun Facts
- An electric eel's shock can be over 600 volts, which is more than twice as powerful as the electricity in our homes!
- They use low-voltage pulses to navigate and find prey in murky water, similar to radar.
