Yay, funny little slender boi time. The electric eel is actually more closely related to catfish than eels. There are even electric catfish. Electric eels can also output 800v. Does anybody else eant to try licking one like a battery? It has three special organs for creating these electric charges that take up 80% of its body.

They are also obligate air breathers! They must surface to breathe roughly every 10 minutes. They mainly live in poorly oxygenated waters, so this makes sense.

Thats all for these cuties see you with another fish fact soon~
