:-)Hi, Anna B! We love your enthusiasm for WONDERing! It is an elongated fish that lives in the shallow waters. We're glad you liked this Wonder and we hope you learned lots of new information about electric eels. Thanks for all your great questions! Thanks for commenting, too! :-)Hi again to you too, Anna B!
That amazed me I never knew they were really electric, I always thought they were just called an electric eel. We encourage you to research it at your library and online! Thanks so much for letting us know you liked today's Wonder. :)Great question, Dylan! :)Hi, Joe Bob! Patches on the eel's body contain high frequency-sensitive receptors, which give the animal the ability to sense A shock from an electric eel is like the brief, numbing jolt from a stun gun. Those organs generate the high-voltage pulses that stun prey and … In fact, electric eels are not actually eels at all.
Have FUN WONDERing! Hey Wonderopolis! 1. Thanks for your patience. In addition, some fish and eel are very similar chemically and biologically, and, in fact, they can only be distinguished from one another at the cellular area. Wow, didn't know all that... are eletric eels really eletric?
I think that tomorrow's wonder might be about time zones, and I will certainly have some time, tomorrow!!!
We thought it was really neat to find out that electric eels could produce shocks on and off for over an hour! However, the eels can cause heart failure or respiratory failure from multiple shocks or in persons with underlying heart disease. Low voltages are used to sense the surrounding environment. Do they only live in warm climates? Electric eels have three electric organs—the main organ, Hunter’s organ, and Sach’s organ—which are made up of modified muscle cells.
I love Wonderopolis We encourage you to keep researching eels at your library and online. We hope you liked this Wonder! There are 19 species of catfish, which are related to electric eels, capable of delivering an electric shock up to 350 volts. We love when we're learning and having FUN at the same time!
What a great question! You guys should add videos to attract even more people and it would be awesome Glass eels typically refers to an intermediary stage in the eel's complex life history between the leptocephalus stage and the juvenile (elver) stage. :-)We agree, Sarah! That amazed me I never knew they were really electric, I always thought they were just called an electric eel. WOW! An eel is any ray-finned fish belonging to the order Anguilliformes , which consists of eight suborders, 19 families, 111 genera, and about 800 species. the Wonder of the Day® via email or SMSDon’t miss our special deals, gifts and promotions. I had no idea that eels could control the amount of electricy that they produce. They're a specific kind of knifefish that lives mainly in bodies of fresh water in South America, such as the Amazon River. Eels in this so-called "recruitment" developmental stage are known as glass eels because of the transparency of their bodies. We are interested in hearing what you find out! Thanks for the KIND words. You are a GREAT Wonder Friend for sharing Wonderopolis with Anna B!
Thanks for commenting! You are a GREAT Wonder Friend! We hope you're having a WONDERful day! (And maybe how they work.) When originally described by Later the electric eel was considered sufficiently distinct to have its own family, Electrophoridae, but it has since been merged back into the family In September 2019, C. David de Santana et al. Can you tern an electric eel into a eel. Dear Wonderopolis, They are interesting to learn about. It's GREAT to hear you enjoy visiting Wonderopolis. Hello.
All have special organs that produce electrical pulses. Normally, the shock can't kill a person. Thanks for letting us know you liked this Wonder! Also that they are related to catfish. By the way, Anna B.is my friend, and I am visiting her,and I had to show her your website. Thanks so much for visiting Wonderopolis and sharing this awesome comment! The organ contains muscle-like cells that can transmit a signal at 10 V of about 25 Hz frequency. Thanks for commenting on this Wonder. We love when we're learning and having FUN at the same time! :)Hi, WONDER friend! D: :)We are glad you liked this WONDER, allen brown! A string of high voltage pulses at up to 400 per second are then used to attack and stun or paralyze the target, at which point the electric eel applies a suction-feeding bite.The electric eel is unique among the Gymnotiformes in having large electric organs that can produce potentially lethal discharges that allow them to stun prey.The electric eel also possesses high frequency–sensitive tuberous receptors, which are distributed in patches over its body.
