Did you know that electric eels can generate enough electricity to stun a human? That's no shocker (pun intended) considering these fascinating creatures pack a powerful punch! Here's the electrifying truth:
- Electric Eel Powerhouse: Electric eels can discharge up to 800 volts of electricity! This current is strong enough to temporarily paralyze prey or even defend themselves from predators.
- Cells as Batteries: Electric eels have specialized cells called electrocytes that generate electricity. These cells act like tiny batteries, allowing the eel to control the intensity and duration of its electric shocks.
- Hunting with a Charge: Electric eels use their electric discharges to stun fish and other aquatic creatures in the water, making them easier to catch and eat. Talk about a shockingly effective hunting strategy!
