Do piranhas attack when they smell blood?
I wouldn't know, though I would question the idea of a piranha smelling under water.

It would be a question of taste.

Piranhas do not just attack people for no reason. They may go into a feeding frenzy at the smell of blood and they will attack if they sense frenzied movement like that of a fledgling bird falling into the water. Really they, like many animals, can find much easier prey than humans so attacks on humans are rare although they do occasionally happen when water levels are low.

A lot! Obviously they are both fish, but sharks are members of the class Chondrichthyes (or cartilaginous fish) and piranhas belong to Osteichthyes (bony fish), along with the majority of fish species. They are taxonomically separated after phylum, so pretty early on in the system. There are more physical differences, such as the fact that most sharks are salt water and piranhas live in fresh water, but that is the biggest difference.
