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.

You can never feel bad about your organ being small if it's electric!

It may be small, but it can give a jolt.

Thank you for that link. I was puzzled though when I opened it and saw a cartoon elephant.

And what's he doing, spending money?
