Animal Information
Electric Eel (South American Electric Eel (not a true eel))
"Electric eels can generate strong electric currents up to several hundred volts for predation and defense; they are famous electric fish."
Centipede (Hundred-legged worm)
"Centipedes are carnivorous; their first pair of appendages is modified into venomous claws (forcipules) for predation and defense."

"Sturgeons are ancient fish with bony plates (scutes) on their bodies; their eggs are made into valuable caviar; many species are endangered."
