Electric eels inhabit muddy rivers primarily because these environments provide ample cover and protection from predators. The murky waters also help them ambush prey while utilizing their electric discharges for navigation and hunting. Additionally, the sediment-rich substrate allows for easier burrowing and nesting, enhancing their overall survival in these habitats.
