2 ημέρες πριν · Eels are capable of lifting themselves out of the water to shock a target. In a 2017 article in Current Biology, a researcher willingly made himself the target of such a shocking leap.. The larger the eel, the greater its potential for producing stronger shocks, so the experiment occurred in a laboratory setting with a smaller eel (about 15 inches long).
Electric eels are remarkable, snake-like fish with the power to deliver electric shocks to defend themselves, hunt, navigate and even communicate with one another. But how does their amazing ability work?
The eel uses its shock to stun prey and keep predators at bay. Electric eels are nocturnal, live in muddy, dark waters, and have poor eyesight. So instead of using eyes, electric eels...
5 Δεκ 2005 · The electric eel generates large electric currents by way of a highly specialized nervous system that has the capacity to synchronize the activity of disc-shaped, electricity-producing cells...
19 Οκτ 2023 · These electroreceptors (noticeable in electric eels and electric catfish as pits in their skin) act like voltmeters, sensing the changes in the electric field caused by their surroundings and determining whether something can be dinner. This video shows a knifefish using its electroporation.
Electric eels - actually a type of knifefish, not true eels - are notorious for being able to produce a hefty electric shock of up to around 600V. The source of their power is a battery-like array of cells known as electrocytes, which make up around 80 per cent of the eel's metre-long body.
