Very good question. And i think a fully grown and uninjured electric eels (some claims they are not species of eels.. instead they are different species) have no natural predator.


I have heard the piranhas caimans or jaguars sometime hunt them.. but never saw any proof...  So i consider them at top of food chain

Here is one video showing, that at least some try to hunt them. I assume, that it takes a good first bite to kill electric eel asap or obvious problems occur to hunter.

This might be normal eel, not electric. But if it was electric eel, then most likely first bite has been very good.

Maybe someone has more information or more time to see what can be found, but obviously every now and then also electric eels have to fight for their lives, maybe not twice against same caiman though :) That shock might be something to remember later. Reply

Amazon River Dolphin mauling Electric Eel to death.

After seeing your posting I´m happy that I did this. You had immediately a very interesting incident, something new for me at least. That dolphin was determined and proved once again how smart/intelligent animals dolphins and whales can be.

Yeah actually I got alot of conflicts and content with different animals but I didn't know where to post so I just kept them without posting. but now this thread you made it'll be super helpful.

Yeah Grey/Pink Amazon river Dolphins are quite smart they are mostly known here for stealing the fish of the fishermen in Amazon even divers they grab the fish out of their hands in the smurky waters of the amazon rivers. Regarding the Poraquê the River Dolphins try to get rid of them because their shock is very very powerful and can kill their youngsters and it is believed specially females beat them to death to protect their calves.

Check this video a Poraquê killing by electric shock a Caiman that tried to predate it in Amazon.

Nature really is incredible.

Woahh, I have never seen an eel give an electrical shock to an alligator before. Let alone, an alligator trying to eat it. I know their electrical shocks are powerful but I didn't expect it to be that powerful! Reply

@scilover

And the Poraquê species ( the one who killed the caiman on that video ) is not even the most powerful electric eel in Amazon.


Check on the link bellow in the thread ''animal news'' to know more about the new scientific discovery of 2 new species of electric eel in Amazon even more powerful than the poraquê and they are the strongest generator of bioelectricity animals.


Its on my post #345 of the link bellow there's info on the 2 new Amazonic Eel specie's power including the Poraquê as well.

The banteng seems to be a little stronger than the buffalo, thanks to its naturally more muscular build, so I can see in the end it will drive the buffalo away. Reply

@Dark Jaguar, are there pythons and king cobras in Brazil? Reply

I don't believe so, Brazil has Boa's and Vipers Reply

@Pckts, I was thrown because the account was from Brazil. King cobras and reticulated pythons are the type of species that would invade a new environment like no other, so therefore the concern. Reply

No, as you're aware of these 2 snakes aren't naturally America natives and the Phythons found in Brazil are captive ones, although there have been accidents cases of captive phytons escaping and invading a few local urban areas but not to the extent of these phytons building an unnatural local population of them here in the wild as they quickly get retrieved and collected back by Firemen or by IBAMA.

And that IG Post was a repost done by Rodrigo Rabello. That case happened probably in Southeast Asia.

But here you'll find Boa Constrictors, RattleSnakes, Jararacas, Coral Snakes (both the False ones and the Original ones), Bushmasters and much other snakes species galore as natural residents of Brazil. Reply

King Cobras would create havoc, at least Pythons fill the same niche as Anacondas while the venomous snakes wouldn't know what hit them with the introduction of King Cobras. Reply

This seems to be closest to right thread since dog is other participant and wolverine other. Dog chases wolverine away and luckily not some more "dangerous" breed like Caucasian shepherd dog so wolverine was unharmed. Still I hate to see something like this if owner let his dog to chase this wolverine just for fun. Many think, that wolverines are some kind of fearless killing machines, but fact is that they are quite cautious and small and there is no reason whatsoever to harass them just for fun.
