Electric eels do have electricity. They belong to aquatic animals. Electric eels discharge electricity is their way to protect themselves and hunt for food. Moreover, the current emitted by electric eels is very strong, and the average voltage they emit can reach 350 volts, so many people call them "high-voltage lines in water".

The reason why electric eels discharge is closely related to their body structure. Because their heart and liver are close to the front end of the body, it can be said that their important organs are at the front end. The back part of the body is covered with muscles and electrical cells, which are used to discharge electricity and distributed in most parts of the body. When they want to discharge, they send a signal, and when they receive the signal, they will discharge.

As mentioned above, electric eels have a very strong ability to discharge. When they discharge in water, they can corona large organisms, and some even die directly. However, it is not certain whether electric eels can electrocute people. Some big electric eels emit a large current. When they put in the current, human beings may be electrocuted. However, there are also some small electric eels, which have little current and generally do not electrocute people.

It should be noted that electric eels are more powerful only when they discharge in water. When they enter the air, the current they emit may corona themselves.
