Electric eels are what is known as an "apex predator". These are predators that don't have any natural predators of their own. The electric eel has the ability to produce 600 volts of electricity through it's body which is an self-defense mechanism that makes it extremely difficult for anything to eat it. In fact, it has been noted that alligators have died from biting into an electric eel.
