Electric Eel
Electric Eel
Imagine an animal that can generate five times more
electricity than the standard wall socket and you have the electric
eel. This fish, which isn’t actually an eel, has three unique
organs that work together to generate electricity. Often, it uses small amounts
of electricity to stun its prey before swallowing it whole, but when
threatened, it can release the electricity in larger amounts and can keep on
releasing it for minutes at a time until it is depleted. Many humans have
suffered shocks from electric eels, often while accidentally stumbling upon
them, though they rarely die. Often, death only occurs with multiple shocks or
when the victim is too paralyzed to move and ends up drowning.
