It is said that Roosevelt witnessed a school of piranha's devour a whole cow in around two minutes. If that is true, than a school of piranha's could eat a human being in around a minute.
Piranha's group together in schools of about 20 fish, and are such vicious creatures that they can strip an animal of its skin in a matter of minutes with their razor sharp teeth. Most times they will eat anything from other fish or weak or stranded animals. Parts of human bodies and even their young.
Nope. Piranhas are freshwater fishes.
They are a type of fish... they swim with their fins.
around 15 to 25mph.
around 15 to 25mph.
Piranhas normally live in large groups that swim and feed together. Piranhas prefer to feed on dead on injured prey as killing large prey requires a great deal of energy.
becuase they have small bodys and dont weigh that much
NO because no one in history has ever been eaten by a school of piranhas or even died after a bite you could swim with them tbh
Piranhas swim using their powerful, laterally flattened bodies and a strong, forked tail that propels them through the water with agility. They primarily use a side-to-side motion, allowing for quick bursts of speed when hunting or evading predators. Their streamlined shape reduces drag, enabling efficient movement in their aquatic environment. Additionally, piranhas often swim in schools, which can enhance their effectiveness in foraging and provide safety in numbers.
Depending on the species of shark and the number of piranhas, supposedly piranhas could be more dangerous. What makes piranhas so dangerous is the fact that they swim in schools of 100 strong. Even so, both animals are misunderstood because of movies like Jaws and Piranhas. Both animals should be treated with respect.
Yes, they swim in circles to warn the others that they cant come into their territory
The amazon river can be dangerous because it is deep in most places, and even amazon river creeks can get up to 6 ft deep. There are also many dangerous animals like piranhas, electric eels, alligators, caimans, and anacondas that can attack swimming people.
In deep water
