What happens when an eel gets struck by lightning?

Eels live underwater, where lightning does not strike. Bur presuming that you take an eel out of the water and attach it to a kite (as Benjamin Franklin attached a key, in his famous experiment) and fly the kite in a thunderstorm so that the eel winds up getting struck by lightning, the eel would be cooked. You could reel it in and eat it.

Are giraffes more likely to be struck by lightning?

According to a paper published in 2011 by one of the foremost experts on lightning safety, Chandima Gomes, "animals with a large separation between their front and back feet... are vulnerable to receive lightning injuries due to the dangerous potential differences that may built up between these feet, in the event of nearby lightning." The paper went on to say that taller animals like giraffes and elephants could be more susceptible to "side flashes," where lightning rebounds after striking a nearby tree.Giraffes being long and tall, those two points seem to indicate that they’re more likely to be struck, but because the occurrence of lightning striking an animal is so rare, there is not enough numerical evidence to support the theory. According to Julian Fennessy, a Namibia-based conservationist and chair of the International Giraffe Working Group, "if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time you're susceptible—it's not that giraffes stand out like lightning rods."


Can lightning happen everywhere?

I think that lightning can happen anywhere in the world but you shouldn't worry about those types of things because lightning is a rare thing unless you live in a harsh, damp or cold environment.

Do we humans need lightning to live?

No, lightning has only negative effects on humans. The effects lightning can cause includes killing people and animals, damaging property, and destroying wiring that runs a home's electricity or even for a whole area. Lighting is also annoying to humans, we have to close pools, cancel sports practices, and not take showers and/or baths(preferably). Lightning to some people is a beautiful effect in the nature of the sky, however the damage it can cause is something that humans do not need to live with.
