Piranha is a major threat to all aquatic species.
The most fearsome is the red-bellied Piranha with a dizzying attack speed, and they attack anything that gets in their way. They can gnaw wooden boats, oars or even attack humans.
Piranhas have very sensitive hearing, which helps them locate their prey even in murky water. During the rainy season, when the water in the swamps is full, piranhas can go around spreading terror.
At this time, piranhas are the most feared terrorists. Even giant water pythons can fall victim to piranhas.
When the dry season comes, piranhas must quickly get out of the swamp because this place will dry out quickly, if not left in time they will again become bait for other fish like the Cayman crocodile for example.
Piranha’s number one rival is the crocodile Cayman.
