Hypothetically, could you use an electric eel to start a car with a dead battery?
Might need a marine biologist and auto mechanic for this one ...lol

No, an electric eel cannot jump start a car, but here's some related information about electric eels and jump starting cars:
Electric eel electricity
Electric eels can produce high-voltage shocks when they're defending themselves or hunting, but the current only lasts for about 2 milliseconds. While an eel the length of your arm can generate the equivalent of a 500 volt battery when out of water, the electrical charge disperses in water
