THE ELECTRIC EEL
The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) is an electric fish, and the only species in its genus. Despite
the name, it is not an eel, but rather is a member of the neotropical knifefish order (Gymnotiformes),
which is more closely related to the catfish.. The electric eel has an elongated, cylindrical body,
typically growing to about 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in length, and 20 kg (44 lb) in weight, making them the largest
species of the Gymnotiformes.
Electric eels inhabit fresh waters of the Amazon and Orinoco River basins in South America, in
floodplains, swamps, creeks, small rivers, and coastal plains. They often live on muddy bottoms in calm
or stagnant waters.
