An electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) is a type of fish native to South America.
Technically, the electric eel is a knifefish, not an eel. The fish can grow up to nine feet long. The diet of the electric eel consists primarily of other fish, and shrimp, although they have also been known to eat amphibians and small mammals which have strayed into their territory. Young electric eels eat bottom dwelling insects and small fish until they are old enough to hunt larger prey.
So for a feast, a monkey, an opossum, capybara (rat) swimming through the eels territory would be a feast.
