... for those of you who still think fish is the stuff you buy at a restaurant


The Electric Eel can grow up to 9 feet in length and weigh 50-60 pounds.

Their electric charge, which comes from their tail, can be up to 600 volts. That's enough to stun and knock out YOU!!!

It has special cells inside its body (in the tail area) that can recharge and produce electrical shocks. Sort of like a battery.

Electric eels hunt by shocking their prey, and then eat it when it can't move.

They live on the river bottom.



9' ???.....I didn't know that!!!

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
