How do electric eels catch prey?
they stun them.
Are electric eels rellay electric?
yes they are not to the touch but they run like a battery they can emit an electric charge and deliver it to its predator or prey.
What are electric eels prey?
fish, small mammals, birds and amphibians
Which fish can give electric shock?
An electric eel. the action exhibit on them at the New York Aquarium is simulated- or faked, it is extremely difficult to get electrical conduction under water without shock hazards, false readings, etc. the (Show Go Round) adaptation with noisy sound effects and flashing tubes is more Showmanship than science. I happen to know this exhibit is faked, the Eels are real and dangerous enough/
Which animal kills its prey with an electric shock?
I thought it was electric eels that behaved in such a manner? Sounds like a Godstowe quiz question! Verity...
When a eel stings its prey why does it not shock the whole ocean?
Because Electric Eels are a freshwater fish...
Can a moray eel electrocute tank water?
No, the moray eel is not an electric fish because it does not generate an electric field. The electric eel, electric catfish and electric rays are examples of electric fish who's electrical organ discharge can be used to stun their prey.
Where does the electric eel find its food?
Where ever it pleases, it may, or may not shock the it's prey to catch it.
What do electric eel's eat?
Grown eels eat little fish and babies eat insects. It also shocks a human and leaves a sting, or it shocks its prey. Electric eels can eat fish that are good in size for them and they have been known to shock them. An electric eel has its charge for defense and to (like lots of eels), kill and eat smaller prey, like fishes. Electric Eels are predatory fish that will eat almost any animal that's small enough to fit into their mouth. In the wild this mainly includes fish, invertebrates and small mammals. You will probably have to feed them live fish at first but usually they can be trained to eat dead freshwater fish such as defrosted frozen smelt. They can grow as large as 8 feet long and can weigh as much as 45 pounds, although the size attained in an aquarium will be smaller. They are not a particularly active fish so they will not need a tank as large as other species their size would require. If the tank is longer that the fish is and it has plenty of room to turn around, it should suffice but remember that even in captivity, this fish can grow to over 4 or 5 feet.
How do electric eels use their intelligence?
They use electricity to sense there prey because they have bad eyesight.
