Eel

Eels live in South American tropical regions. The electric organs are used many different ways by the eel. The low intensity impulses are used for sensory perception, helping it to navigate in its habitat where vision is blocked, and also for communication. The high intensity charges are used for stunning or killing smaller fish or for defense. The bigger the eel, the bigger the shock!
