One kind can zap 860 volts of electricity from their bodies. The highest charge from any other eel is 650 volts. Electrical outlets in U.S. homes supply 120 volts of power. God gave eels power to keep them safe from other underwater creatures. “Here is the sea, great and wide, which teems with creatures innumerable, living things both small and great.” (Psalm 104:25)
