Electric eels are aquatic organisms that can live in fresh water as well as in the ocean. Electric eels have a very important characteristic, that is, they can discharge electricity, which is also their means of protecting themselves. Electric eels are not the only ones that can discharge electricity in water, but also electric rays, electric catfish and so on. Among the creatures that can discharge electricity, the electric eel is relatively strong, sometimes releasing hundreds of volts.
Because of their ability to discharge electricity, electric eels can subdue a variety of organisms in the ocean. Even if they encounter larger creatures, electric eels can briefly put each other into a state of fainting by discharging electricity, thus escaping. Many people call it one of the most feared animals in the water.
As mentioned above, although the electric eel has the ability to discharge electricity, it can subdue a variety of organisms in the water, and can even bring down very large animals. But they are not completely without natural enemies, because humans can be regarded as natural enemies of electric eels. Because electric eels are edible, there are many ways to hunt them. When electric eels are out of water and into the air, their attack power is relatively weak, and the discharge may even shock itself.
