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

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?

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!
