Now, are the internal organs of an eel in its tail, looping around to the butt. Or are they all more or less in the head and the tail is just muscles and bone?

The tail is where the electric organs are The rest of the guts and stuff are all in the torso

This is a picture of a pretty small electric organ, so you can imagine the immense storage capacity eels have in their tails.

rbits @lemm.ee *electric eel. Electric eels are not eels.

Adorbs, but can't hold a candle to the garden eel. Mostly because they both live underwater.

Bytemeister @lemmy.world Glass lizards have external ears. Easier to spot those right behind the jaw. Their body/head segment is pretty distinctive once you've seen a bunch side by side. At first it's difficult, but with a little practice they become easy to distinguish, like Alligator vs Crocodile.

17 0 Replypsud @aussie.zone It looks like other eels don't necessarily follow the mostly tail body plan of electric eels; morays seem to be less than 50% tail by length
15 0 Replysomebodysomewhere @lemmy.world that would be because electric eels are fish, not eels.

Why is the head part of the torso?
