  • Title: Animal Behavior: Electric Eels Amp Up for an Easy Meal.
    Author: Carlson BA.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 2015 Nov 16; 25(22):R1070-2. PubMed ID: 26583894.
    Abstract:
    The high voltage discharge generated by electric eels is a powerful predatory weapon. A new study shows that eels exploit basic physics to increase the voltage delivered to prey, inducing muscle fatigue that turns challenging prey items into easy targets.
