      Im halfway sure they digest the shit again, since they’re so small they can’t properly digest it

    they also arnt EELs, they are a type of knifefish, which are a sister clade to CATFISH, which also can produce electricity in some species.

    Butt which end is positive vs negative?

      Head positive, tail negative (seriously)

        So, according to the diagram, the butthole of the eel is the positive electrode?

        Or did I miss something here?

        If it created a lot of energy it would need to much food. The beauty of electric defense is that very little energy deposited has an outsized effect, by attacking your electronics directly potentially even killing.
