Worse in snails

Worse in snails

Butt which end is positive vs negative?
I need to know so I can recharge my battery..
Head positive, tail negative (seriously)
It's pulsed though, not sure how well it would charge a battery
So, according to the diagram, the butthole of the eel is the positive electrode?
Or did I miss something here?
That "did I miss something here?" really instills an image of you standing at a workbench with a live electric eel, various electronics parts, and an IKEA instruction booklet in hand trying to get this thing to charge your phone.
I'm getting "If you're not sure, call IKEA's help center and one of our friendly associates will help you to set up your new furniture in no time!" picture vibes

Oh wait that's already a word. Hang on is that why eels are slippery?
Shoutout to whoever named eels. You nailed it, those things are eels.
So that's why the eel made that face at the aquarium when I sarcastically said "nice tail, shitneck!"
But electric eels aren't eels
Are there magnetic eels?
they also arnt EELs, they are a type of knifefish, which are a sister clade to CATFISH, which also can produce electricity in some species.
And fish don't even exist.
yes they do, but not as a useful, well defined category in biology.
it's a morphological category, not cladistic.
Like how "tree" is any plant with a thick robust trunk and branchy crown.
So, next question. If a snake had arms, would they be up near his head or closer to its butt? Like is it mostly torso or neck?
They're like 1/3 neck 2/3 torso! You can actually kinda see where the neck turns into the torso because of the difference in thickness, I marked it with a green arrow here:


It's a lot easier to see in person though since the chest moves when they breathe so you can be sure that's where the lungs start.
Sir Mix-a-Lot must have a lot to say about this picture.
Everything after the butt is a tail?
Are my legs tails?
this is such a great sub. Thank you.
