Electric Eel
I just learned something about electric eels. Turns out they can generate a electrical current "capable of producing a shock at up to 500 volts and 1 ampere of current (500)." (600 according to National Geographic.). That's enough to kill a human being, and it certainly put the lights out of this alligator [crocodile?] looking for an afternoon meal. Nature is endlessly fascinating. It really is a jungle out there.
