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.

A single piranha, no. A very large school of piranhas, possibly, if the human sits still long enough or bleeds out. They can do a lot of damage, but humans are too big to easily inflict fatal damage.
Piranhas are timid fish and only really attack when feel threatened and incredibly hungry. They are also very small so it would really take many piranhas to eat a human. Piranhas have a single row of very sharp teeth and have a voracious appetite for meat. the types of piranhas are Red-bellied piranha, Black piranha, White piranha, Gold piranha, and Wimple piranha. What about baby piranhas? Baby piranhas hatch from microscopic eggs and will feast on tiny fish,plants,seeds,etc. When the baby piranha reach about 1.5 inches they will start feeding on fins and flesh of fish and will start hunting in groups. Here's a fact of piranhas, there are some states where piranhas are illegal and some states where they are legal.
Yes, if a piranha in a shoal was injured or displayed weakness the others would eat it.
