How do electric eels hunt?


The electric eel is a formidable freshwater predator, capable of emitting a powerful voltage of electric water to submerge the passing water. The release of electric pulses has a direct ef ect on the muscles of the i sh, causing them to twitch or convoy, turning the predator away from their position. Electric eels are capable of this feat because they have electric parts that can store electricity like batteries. When an eel plans to attack,

A burst of electricity up to 600 volts will discharge thousands of specialized electrocyte cells within its organs. Because of their poor eyesight, electric eels will use the same technology to navigate hunters' wards and their gloomy freshwater surroundings.

Electric eels have three pairs of stomachs that produce electricity: the main organ, the Hunter's limb and the true limb. These organs make up four fifths of its body, and give electric eels the ability to produce two types of electric organ discharge: low voltage and high voltage. These organs are made up of electrocytes, lined up, so a flow of ions can flow through them and stack so that each potential is added to the gap.
