Meet Electric Eel, The Fish That Generates Enough Electricity To Kill Its Prey by God1000(op): 12:41pm On Aug 15, 2024
The electric eels are a genus, Electrophorus, of neotropical freshwater fish from South America in the family Gymnotidae. They are known for their ability to stun their prey by generating electricity, delivering shocks at up to 860 volts. Their electrical capabilities were first studied in 1775, contributing to the invention in 1800 of the electric battery.

Electric eels can release in excess of 860 volts of electricity in short very intense bursts. They come from thousands of muscle cells that each create a tiny current. This is five times the voltage contained in a standard light socket. It's enough to paralyze alligators.

The unique design of this creature demonstrates that everything has a specific purpose on earth, and their presence is vital to keeping the balance of life on the planet.

Only an intelligent creator could have thought about this. Everything didn't just come into existence and decide to develop unique abilities on its own.

This is real sea monster

Although there are few documented instances of people dying from an electric eel's shock, it could happen.

A single jolt could incapacitate a person long enough to cause him or her to drown, even in shallow water. Multiple shocks could cause a person to stop breathing or go into heart failure.

I remember when I was in the village fishing with hook and line... this fish will pick your hook and send electric signal through the line and stick that will make you drop your stick immediately.

OK, what is the purpose of man - or cockroach for that matter, or mosquito??
Truth is, so many creatures contribute absolutely nothing, and some, like man, actually do harm, like damage the environment and disrupt nature's balance. Also, millions have disappeared and nothing happened
