Electric eels are aquatic animals that live in water. From the perspective of distribution range, electric eels are widely distributed. They can live in the ocean. In fact, they are distributed in the remaining three oceans except the Arctic Ocean, and are also distributed in the deep sea. In addition, they can also live in fresh water, such as the Amazon River Basin in South America. Sometimes they are found in shallower places, sometimes in places where the water is turbid, and they may even appear on the shore. 1. Where do electric eels live?
Electric eels are aquatic creatures and live in water. From a global perspective, electric eels are widely distributed, extending from tropical waters to temperate waters. Electric eels can live in the ocean and are found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. Their distribution depth in seawater is not certain, and they are sometimes distributed in deep sea. They can also live in freshwater, such as the Amazon River Basin in South America. Specifically, they are found in places with relatively shallow water, such as ponds and swamps. Sometimes they are also found in places where the water is turbid, and sometimes you can even see them on the shore.
Electric eels live in water and feed on some aquatic animals and plants that also live in the water. They mainly eat animals, such as fish, shrimp, crabs, etc. They are very capable of catching prey and will first stun their prey through electric discharge and then eat it. 2. Can electric eels live on land?
As mentioned above, electric eels can live in both the ocean and fresh water. They are distributed in waters around the world. It is very extensive. However, electric eels cannot live on land because they are aquatic creatures. Moreover, they can better exert the power of discharge in water. Of course, electric eels cannot stay in the water all the time. They need to breathe, and when they breathe they need to come out of the water. Therefore, we may observe electric eels coming out of the water to breathe, and sometimes see them on the shore.
