What do piranhas taste like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Piranha's have a very meaty taste. They are actually quite tasty. I would almost relate the taste to the fat off a ribeye steak, however it is still soft and flakey as most any other fish. The only problem with them is that they are quite boney.

Do crocodiles eat piranhas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They'll eat anything if they can get close enough. In fact they will eat many of the Savannah's apex predators like as felines (such as lions, leopards and cheetahs). Typically they feed on fish and other small vertebrates (seperately), when large food is absent, as a side diet. As far as mammals are concerned, notable diet consists of waterbuck, sitatunga, lechwe, wildebeest, zebra, warthog, goats, sheep and cattle. However, they have been know to hunt in facks (usually five or more) which can lead to the capture of larger prey such as Cape buffalos, giraffes, hippopotamus and even the Black Rhinoceros.
