Is there such thing as an electric eel?

Answer by  Alicette (139)

Yes and no, the animal known as an electric eel is real, but it is actually a type of knifefish. It can indeed produce strong electric currents for hunting prey and for protecting itself, but nearly all creatures produce electricity. For example, the human heartbeat is generated by our own natural electricity.

Yes. An electric eel is a fish native to the Amazon river areas. Electric eels can give off a shock, either to disable their prey or protect themselves.
