860V Electric Shock Leaves Crocodile Lifeless

Hunting can sometimes turn dangerous, especially when the prey is an electric eel. The video shows the crocodile lying by the edge of a pond, where an eel was spotted nearby. As the eel seemed to be moving towards the shore, the crocodile pounced, catching the eel in its jaws. However, what followed was a shocking twist.

A Powerful Electric Shock
Electric eels can generate high-voltage shocks up to 860-volt, which they use to stun prey or defend themselves. This particular eel delivered massive electrical shocks to the crocodile when it was caught. The shock was so powerful that the crocodile's entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.


 

Struggle for Survival
As the video continues, the crocodile can be seen writhing in pain in the water. The strong electric current rendered the mighty predator helpless and lifeless.

Fatal Consequences for Both
Unfortunately, the story did not end well for either creature. The crocodile succumbed to the powerful electric shock, and the eel, trapped in the crocodile's jaws, also died from the encounter. The entire incident was captured on camera by a bystander.
