Torpedo panthera Olfers, 1831
Torpedo panthera mostly lives on muddy or sandy bottoms, from shallow water to a depth of 100 meters. Scalloped electric rays feed primarily on invertebrates and small reef fish.
Electric rays can generate electric shocks of 70-300 volts, which normaly serve as a weapon and for catching prey.
Depending on the level of exposed electric shocks, people may have atrial fibrillation of the heart, temporary short-term cardiac arrest, cardiac arrest, and cardiac arrest.
Therefore, never touch an electric ray!
