All living animals emit an electrical charge during routine muscle movement, although in most animals, electricity is weak. These animals rely on their biological electroreception ability to produce electricity to hunt for prey, fight off predators and even navigate.

  1. Electric eel

Most commonly found in South American waters, electric eels generate electricity more than any other animal in the world. With 5 thousand - 6 thousand electroplax. Research shows that they can produce intermittent shocks tirelessly for an hour.

The amount of electric power generated can easily be deadly for the average human adult. However, some of what makes electric eel so unique is its ability to control the intensity of their shocks. Electric eel is not really classified as an eel, but rather as a fish.

  1. Peters fish elephant trunk

Found around the river in west and central Africa, this fish is dark. Rod-like protrusions on the head is a real mouth. This fish is equipped with a special electrical generating organ, located on the tail, and consists of thousands of squares such as a multi-nucleus cell called electroplax (or electroplaques).
