1. The electric eel
Most commonly found in the waters of South America, the electric eel generate more electricity than any other animal in the world. With 5,000 to 6,000 electroplax! Research shows that they can produce intermittent shock tirelessly for an hour.
The amount of electric power generated can easily be deadly to humans average-sized adult. However, most of what makes the electric eel is very unique is its ability to control the intensity of their shock.
Electric eels are not really classified as an eel, but more as a fish.
2. Electric Catfish
This freshwater catfish native to tropical waters in Africa. With the ability to generate electricity up to 350 volts which is roughly the same amount needed to power a computer for 45 minutes.
3. Electric Skate
These creatures spend most of their time on the seabed (cold water), using electrosense their ability to pick up weak electric field issued by shrimp, snails and clams on their favorite.
Their mouths are located in the lower part of their bodies, making it easier to search for food. Each is developed by the bilateral organ along the tail that produces intermittent electric shock.
The intensity of the shock vary from species to species, but generally they are endowed with durability, allowing them to withstand shock long enough.
Although relying on themselves with the power produced to fight off predators, they also use it as a way to recognize and communicate with each other
4. Peters Fish Elephant Trunk
Found around the river in west and central Africa, the dark-colored fish. Rod-like protrusions on the head is a real mouth.
Elephantnose fish are equipped with a special organ that produces electricity, which is located in the tail, which consists of thousands of "boxes such as multi-nucleated cells" called electroplax (or electroplaques).
According WetWebMedia.com, in a resting state, each cell electroplax has a negative charge and positive charge on the outside.
When the organ is stimulated through muscle contraction, it will create a weak electric current. Thus, Elephantnose fish is able to detect different levels of distortion and then be able to distinguish between predators and prey.
5. Echidnas
Including members of the order monotreme, this spiny animal has an elongated snout which serves as both the mouth and nose. The muzzle is also sending electrical signals that help them find insects for in gusto.
Electroreceptive system at the muzzle is less complex than platypuses. Electroreception they proved useful even though they become land animals because their snouts constantly wet.
It is much easier to conduct electricity in water than on land, which is why most animals with electroreception derived from water.
6. Hammer Head Shark
With hundreds of thousands of organ electrorecptor (called Ampullae of Lorenzini) in their body, this shark as the only shark that has the greatest electrical sensitivity that can detect the signal of half a billion volts other animals. And facilitate in search of prey.
Ampullae detect electric fields generated by other underwater animals, making it possible to scan the hammerhead shark and digging sand from the seabed dinner.
Hammerhead sharks are also said to be using their internal detection such as GPS devices, helping to adjust to detect the ocean currents moving in the magnetic field of the earth.
7. Ikan Pari Electric
Such as electric eels, these animals are also capable of controlling the voltage on each electric charge in his body. Production organs located on either side of the head and jointly producing an electrical voltage to 220 volts.
The resulting electrical shock is quite similar to the effect when dropping a hair dryer into the tub.
