The electric eel discharges by stimulating the electrical cells in the body. There are many electrical cells in the electric eel, and these electrical cells are like some small laminated batteries. When they want to discharge, they will send a signal through the nervous system. When the electrical cells in their bodies receive this signal, they will let ions pass through the cell membrane quickly, thus completing the process of generating electricity.

Electric eels have electric cells in 80% of their bodies, so the current emitted by electric eels is relatively strong, and an adult electric eel can emit 300-800 volts of current in water. In the water, they often approach the fish and generate electricity, corona all the fish around them, and then finish hunting.

The electricity of electric eels is dangerous, especially when they are in water, and their current is relatively strong. When they live in water, the current they emit may corona many large organisms, and some may even be electrocuted. If they encounter electric eels in water, it is very dangerous.

Although it is very dangerous to meet electric eels in water, it is not too dangerous to meet electric eels on land. Because the resistance in the air is greater than that in their bodies, electric eels may point to themselves after giving off electricity, which will not have much impact on human beings.
