Electric eel and defense
Electric eels use their electricity primarily to observe their environment and catch small prey animals. But, it is also a defensive mechanism. The electrical charge can cause a cardiac arrest, resulting in death. A non-lethal shock will numb the victim, after which it will die as a result of drowning. An electric eel has three electric organs that together make up almost sixty percent of its body weight. The two electric poles are located respectively on the head and tail sections.
