Though the myth says they can power 50 cars, that\u2019s false. Electric eels are amazing because of their high-voltage abilities, delivering shocks of 600 to 860 volts to stun prey and ward off predators. They also use weak electric pulses to navigate, can \u201ceavesdrop\u201d on other electric fish, and even leap from the water to shock threats. Despite their name, they are not true eels but a type of knifefish, and they are obligate air breathers, needing to surface to survive. #ElectricEel #StrangeScience #NatureFacts #WildAdaptations
