Electric eels are not actually eels but rather a type of knifefish. They are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs. The female electric eel can lay thousands of eggs at a time, which are then fertilized externally by the male. The eggs hatch into larvae, which eventually develop into juvenile electric eels.
