Electric rays are marine fish that use electricity to defend themselves and stun their prey. There are dozens of electric ray species and they are found nearly worldwide. Electric rays can produce over 200 volts of electricity which is stored in modified muscles that appear kidney bean shaped. These muscles can weigh up to 1/6th of the electric ray's body weight! Electric rays are typically left alone as predators don't want to deal with the electric ray's electricity! Even people can get knocked out by these animals, which can make for a bad situation underwater... Electric rays look like pancakes with tails. These fish use their tails to swim through the water. They don't have stingers; they don't need them! Scientific Name: Order - Torpediniformes Range: tropical to temperate marine waters worldwide Size: 1-6 feet (30.5-183cm) Diet: crustaceans and other invertebrates, fish Lifespan: 10+ years ✨ Animal Fact Files Patreon Supporters get early access to videos, get their video reque
