Electric Rays: 200 V Electrifying Machines!

Electric rays, related to sharks and rays, have skeletons of cartilage. They generate electricity using specialized organs and electrocytes, which are activated through a sodium-potassium pump and acetylcholine. These rays can produce up to 200 volts, enough to harm humans. Their poor vision is compensated by electro-sensitivity. Electric rays have unique anatomy and function, with electric organs on their heads, unlike other rays with tail organs. They are generally non-aggressive unless threatened.
