Russell Coles, whose hobby is deep sea fishing, recently captured a giant electric ray near Morehead City, N.C. The fish, which weighed 120 pounds, was presented to the Museum of Natural History in New York. According to Coles, the ray had enough electric charge to “stun an elephant. He did not catch the fish in the regular way. It was stranded near his boat by the receding tied and members of his crew prevented it from getting back into the sea. When the fish was dead the “batteries” near its head contained practically no electric energy.
