Default Piranha in the Parana

I just had to post this as it made me shake my head in disbelief, yet emit a slight guffaw at the same time.


Would you swim in a croc infested river called the Krok river? .... me either....

Yet people thought it was a good idea to swim in a Piranha infested river named the Parana River and shock, horror, they got bitten and lost bits. Who would have thunk it.

70 hurt in piranha attack in Argentina

I believe the saying that humans on the whole are not known for their intelligence, yet again the species proves that saying to be factual.

There are some good vids on YouTube. They are nasty little critters. Thankfully, they aren't ocean faring. They would make Great Whites seem tame.
