Research reveals electric eels can double their voltage when catching prey | The Economist

Shocked by an electric eel!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️ This was a year ago & just one of those crazy things I have wanted to experience for years! I’m got @davidblaine to try it next 😂I saw a breeding aggregation of huge electric eels in the wild in the Amazon years ago, I waded out into the water surrounded by them and they were curious but not aggressive. I really wanted to experience a little shock for my own curiosity but it was far too dangerous of a situation with so many large eels, so I didn’t do it then,
