	Electric eel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The electric eel may be found in the basins of both the Amazon River and Orinoco River, as well as the surrounding areas.
		Electric eels are capable of varying the intensity of the electrical discharge, using lower discharges for "hunting" and higher intensities are used for stunning prey, or defending themselves.
		Although the eels are common in their range and popular draws for public aquaria, the eel's habit of delivering shocks, even when gently handled, means that they are too dangerous for most amateurs to try to keep at home.

		Habitat and Range: The electric eel is native to South America and found in the rivers of the Guyanas, the Orinoco River system, and in the waters of the middle and lower Amazon basin.
		Electric eels are capable of producing a 500-volt shock powerful enough to stun a horse.
		Because the water that the electric eel lives in is poor in oxygen, it must occasionally come to the surface for air.

		Gymnotus electricus attains a length of 3 ft. and the thickness of a mans thigh, and frequents the marshes of Brazil and the Guianas, where it is regarded with terror, owing to the formidable electrical apparatus with which it is provided.

		Electric eels are not aggressive; They may produce a damaging shock when surprised or stepped on, but the primary use of its electrical talent is to repel potential predators or to immobilize their own prey.

	Re: Electric eel
		In the same way that the electricity from the wall can shock you but not affect the material that the wall socket is made of, the Eel can shock others without being affected itself.
		Electric Eels sometimes hunt the same prey at the same time and although there can be two or more Eels shocking the prey in the same area and at the same time, the Eels somehow are not affected.
		Imagine the male Eel mating with the female Eel and their is a lot of powerful shocking going on...
