Yes they can Kill... The shock from an electric eel affects the body by altering physiological functions such as involuntary muscle actions and respiration. Symptoms of being shocked by an electric eel can be respiratory paralysis and cardiac failure. These symptoms may result in death. Eels also have powerful jaws and can bite a finger right off of a diver if they are not careful. This could in theory cause death if medical treatment was not made available soon. http://hypertextbook.com/facts/BarryLajnwand.shtml
The long finned eel spends it adult life in fresh waters of New Zealand. It can spend as long as fifty years and reach over thirty kilograms in weight before it returns to the sea to begin a long migration to the deep waters around Tonga to breed. The adults then die and the young eels return to New Zealand waters as elvers hence completing the cycle.
What is the body symmetry of an eel?
Eels are fish and fish are vertebrates. Therefore, like all vertebrates, they have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

How is electricity produced by an electric eel?
Some people believe it was a really cool mutation that caught on to help this particular eel hunt and survive. Personally, I believe it was designed by God that way. What do you think?
Electric eels live in fresh waters of the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers, the basins in South America, in river floodplains, swamps, creeks and coastal plains. They often live on muddy bottoms in calm water and in stagnant rivers.
They are a FRESHWATER species. The name "electric eel" is also a misnomer, as they are more related to the Catfish than the Eel.
Eels are not amphibians, they are type of fish.
But they can survive out of the water for some time. when migrating they will cover long distances over land if they have to and conditions are suitably wet.

An electrick eel reproduces by a cell in their body that allows the eel to find the perfect match in their habitat and when they you know mate the female eel makes something called an ''egg sack''.
