What happens when a ray can generate up to 220 volts and 30 amps of electricity? ⚡

Found in temperate and tropical waters around the world (and increasingly in inshore areas of the North Atlantic), torpedo rays are among the ocean's most enigmatic predators. These heavily camouflaged bottom dwellers use electrogenic organs to hunt prey and defend themselves.
Often buried in sand or resting on the seafloor, they can react quickly when disturbed, delivering powerful shocks capable of incapacitating fish and, in rare cases, injuring divers.

Because they can be difficult to spot, accidental contact is one of the biggest risks. Good buoyancy control, situational awareness, avoiding unnecessary interaction, and maintaining a respectful distance can help prevent dangerous encounters.
