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.
