The electric eel is a kind of actinopterygii, electric eel order organism, their distribution range is relatively wide, in tropical and temperate waters have distribution. The electric eel is a very special creature. They have the characteristics of electric discharge, and their bodies are very long, cylindrical, and they do not have scales, fins are generally reduced.

In addition, they can also eat crustaceans, aquatic insects, and sometimes they can eat some plants, but this is relatively rare.
The eel's ability to hunt is very strong, because they can discharge electricity. The voltage that the eel can generate is very high, sometimes even up to 800V. The voltage from an eel can even knock a human out. Electric rays usually hunt at night, when they will first quietly approach a school of fish, and then suddenly discharge, the electric current will be next to many fish are corona, at this time their bodies will be very stiff, unable to move, electric eels will take the opportunity to swallow them. Eels can corona a lot of fish at a time, far more than they can eat.
As mentioned above, electric eels mainly eat meat, and can use small fish, shrimp, crabs, and so on as their own food.
