How do electric eels kill their prey?

Electric eels kill their prey using high-voltage electric shocks, which they generate through specialized cells called electrocytes. When they sense potential prey, they can emit bursts of electricity that can incapacitate or stun the target. These shocks can reach up to 600 volts, allowing the eel to immobilize fish and other small animals, making them easier to capture and consume. The electric eel uses this hunting technique effectively in its natural aquatic environment.
