Sharks are known to have the ability to detect weak electric field generated by its prey. The Ampullae of Lorenzini (AOL), first discovered by Stefano Lorenzini in 1678, has been identified as the biosensor which is responsible for electroreception. Since then, many experiments were conducted to det...
