ELECTRIC EEL

-

Zap! As their name suggests, electric eels have a special organ that produces electricit­y. This organ takes up 80% of their body and is used to stun prey and defend against predators. Electric eels can generate a power of 600 volts, which is five times stronger than the electricit­y generated in a standard wall socket. Their electric shocks are even strong enough to knock down a horse!
