		Unlike most rays, mantas are filter-feeders; the manta uses a pair of horns at the front of the head to drive small prey into its mouth; there the prey is caught in a strainer and swallowed, the water passing out through the manta’s gills.
		Electric rays, or torpedos (family Torpedinidae), have electric organs in their wings that generate electric current, used to immobilize prey and for defense.
		The current is strong enough to stun humans, and it is said that the ancient Greeks used these fish for shock therapy.

	History of the Torpedo - Early Years.
		The word "Torpedo" is from a family of fish - the Torpedinidae, (Electric Ray), as the Readers Digest Dictionary states "...having a rounded body and a pair of electric organs capable of producing a fairly strong electric charge." In fact - to it's prey - it's a stunning shock!
		It is suggested that Bushnell first used the term "Torpedo" to an invention of his - a mine attached to the hull of a ship and detonated possibly by a clockwork fuse.
		Then in 1904, the Battle of Tsushima was finally ended by gunfire as there was no torpedo built (at the time) which could reach ranges of 600 yards.

	Numbfish, Hypnos monopterygium
		This organ is used to shock crabs, worms and fishes, which make up the Numbfish's diet.
		The electric organs of the torpedo rays (family Torpedinidae) can also deliver strong electric shocks (50 amps, with peak of pulses sometimes exceeding 1 kilowatt).
		To swallow relatively large prey whole, the Numbfish is able to greatly expand its mouth.
