- Electric eel — A predatory freshwater fish of South America, belonging to the species Electrophorus electricus, which, despite its common name, is more closely related to catfish than to true eels. This remarkable organism possesses specialized bioelectrogenic organs made of thousands of electrocytes, capable of generating powerful electric shocks of up to 600-800 volts, used effectively for self-defense, hunting prey, and electro-navigation in the murky waters of the Amazon.
