i beg to differ sir. ive kept them as pets, i was never bitten and i would hand feed and also have no issue putting my whole arm in the tank to clean it or what ever....
tbh i think they swapped it because that was way too clean when he took that out, just before he pulled it up it looked like it still had meat on it, i know they can strip stuff down but that looked like they licked it clean
I was in the Amazons a few years back & had the chance to fish for Piranhas, they're even scarier in person, I'll never forget being able to hear their teeth snapping 😂
Piranhas: "We can devour anyone down to the bone in seconds! Cower in fear!" Giant otters, river dolphins and arapaimas: "Aww, how cute. Well, time for dinner!" Piranhas: "Oh 💩!"
One of my nephews actually had about 18 piranhas he brought from a tropical fish store. They were small. I would sit and watch them for hours. I was fascinated by them especially when it was feeding time. Sometimes depending on how large the feeders where, they would nip away at the fins to slowly disable the fish before finally making all out attack. He once bought a fish that are used in a coy ponds .they nipped off all of the fins and waited in formation for almost an hour before they all moved in for the final attack. The water in fish tank was clashing against the glass like strong waves because they were shaking the fish so hard.
Seems rather sadistic to get kicks watching something suffer. On the other hand, it would be sweet karma to throw an electric eel into that tank of those piranhas and watch them dance around being zapped by 600 volts.
@@theofficialassmob if anything getting eating alive by piranhas is scary to me considering they take small bites and you will most likely be drowning too 😬😬
My father... Was a cannibal... And a fiend. One day when we catch no fish, he ate me mum to the bone. Then he looks my way and says "Why so vigorous?" The he puts his incisors on my tail and says "LET'S TRIM THE EXCESS FAT A BIT!"
Fun fact! Piranhas are very shy! Rarely do they EVER attack live prey(aside from fish and frogs), and they sure as hell don't like eating human! As someone who has owned piranhas, most people in the hobby will tell ya they're pretty boring fish, they only go in feeding frenzies during mating season or if they're starved
Yup! It's really only injured animals or scraps they go after, major misconception that they attack anything that moves. They're like tiny water Vultures.
True. I had a black piranha, and it was the most skittish and scaredy cat fish I've ever had. Everytime I'd go near the tank, it would freak out and try to swim away and hide.
Yep, I saw people swimming with them, and when asked, they said that they never heard of a person getting bit. It may happen, but clearly not very often.
Yep. They never use the communal changing room at the river, and hate large crowds... Seriously though, yes, there are very elusive. My brother had on when we were younger. Other fish he kept were more aggressive with each other....but didn't have the same bite.
I clearly remember the nightmare where I was stuck in the water in a lake in a rainforest and was getting ripped apart by pinranhas. The feeling of little pieces of flesh getting torn off me I will never forget. This nightmare has taken place well over 10 years ago but I clearly remember.
Bruh once I saw in my dream that I was in a muddy place and I was being chased by some sort of hybrid of piranhas and crocodiles they had limbs and were very fast, those creatures were terrifying... Hopefully they didn't chomp on me
I’ve literally had this dream a lot when I was younger after seeing a piranha movie. I haven’t had the dream since like 10 yrs now too but I vividly remember it. Weird.
Did you notice with the piranha biting the blade it seemed to have a vibrating bite. Most fish take a single bite then use body jerks to cut the flesh away. Thie first piranha used a multi bite technique to cut down through the flesh without the body movements, it seemed to me.
We eat them here. Once back at home there is some shop selling a live one in a giant bucket. There are few of bucket on his place. The piranha seems kinda run out of oxygen and swim with the mouth on the surface of the water. I gently poke their upper head and one of them bit me. And the others start to jumping like crazy.... i never eat piranha ever since.
I heard that their meat is a little chewy compared to other fish but I haven tried one myself. I can barely imagine any fish not being tender, cooked or smoked
They eat in a frenzy because they're very skittish and timid. Despite their fierce reputation and the fact that they could do serious harm if they wanted to piranha are not on top of the food chain In fact, they are very low on it. There are dozens of creatures in and around the waters that eat Piranha, not the other way around. Most , if not all, Piranha are, in fact, scavengers.
What's so hard about putting the camera at least 10 inches away AND not putting a thousand video cuts in it right when it's at the part WHERE WE WANT TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Hardly the horror movie monster or great white of the amazon that people have been led to believe but still a very impressive clean up machine for nature
Deadly 60 was my childhood.. I can barely remember it accept for when they'd count up the deadlyness.. But all I remember is it was my favourite show and I loved it..
I´ve been into aquariums since about 40 years now (some years professional). In aquariums, piranhas are scared fish. Not brave, not dangerous. I have only heard of one accident, where a person was catching them in the aquarium, and tried to hold one. It turned and bit him in the thumb. If threatened, they do what any animal would do, try to defend themselves. I have also talked to a lot of folks that went to the Amazonas to catch aquarium fish. All of them have told me the same story - there is no need to worry about piranhas. EXCEPT for in the dry season, where there are a lot of small "ponds" along any river. The piranhas stuck in those "ponds" will attack anything. Otherwise, there is no danger from piranhas. The black kaiman, stingrays, the electric eel and some catfish are more dangerous, all the time.
During my visit to the Bolivian Amazon, the guide told me that you can go inside the river even though there are all kinds of piranha there, except if it is dry season or you have a wound/have period … then forget it, you will be eaten. Few mins later, other guide decided to jump in the river and take a bath with the pink dolphins. Nobody joined him.
Piranhas are incredible small and easily devours whatever their red eyes see. The Amazonia is wild to the extreme. Piranhas, anacondas, pumas, monkeys, and Manigua legends.
Good that no Chinese emperors was aware of the piranha. Otherwise there could have been such a death sentence: Death by Piranha. (So they were happy with death by a thousand slices instead)
So from #4 video, in term of large prey, Piranhas are actually more of opportunist than fericious hunter? Whenever there is commotion in the surface caused by potential prey, they will observe carefully. And after a while, some of the bravest/hungriest will try their luck and try to take a bite. If the prey doesn't fight back then they will take another bite and others soon follow?
Which basically undercuts the whole, Piranhas aren’t dangerous, just bottom feeders. Yeah Right, these things are smart and will test out the “local wildlife” and the moment it bleeds, feeding frenzy!!
Yeah. One piranha is just a toothy guppy. They take a nibble on prey that seem weak or distracted because a healthy fish can repel a single piranha pretty easily. The scary thing about them is their numbers, and the feedback loop their attacks have. If you're injured, one piranha takes a bite, which injures you just a little more and emboldens a new piranha to take a bite, until the entire school has had a nibble and you're nothing but bones.
Piranha are certainly incredible fish but their aggression is many times overstated. I was in a local pet store years ago and in one tank had a school of very young Piranha. (About the size of nickle) In the middle of the same tank along the back wall was a large plant. Another fish hiding in this plant would dart out and attack any Piranha that came too close. I asked the guy working the fish room what the other fish was and he replied It's some unidentified cichlid. I looked real close at the fish and informed him that it was no cichlid. He asked are you sure? I replied I'm 100% sure. The fish making the Piranhas lives miserable was a baby Sunfish of equal size.
Put him back with his 1000s of friends and hope he doesn't have a good memory *12 AM* "AYE MAN REMEMBER WHEN YOU PUT THAT KNIFE IN MY MOUTH, I DIDNT FORGET"
