How aggressive is piranha?
In 2015, a boy in Peru fell into a pond and was gnawed into a bone by a piranha in just a few minutes.
Such a "crazy" attack power is unheard of, but this time I truly felt the power of a piranha.
Piranha
can also be called piranha. It is a fish distributed in the Amazon River in South America and a type of water tiger fish.
Its neck has a short, the skull, especially the palatal bone, is very hard, the body is oval, with a flat side, and the caudal fin is shaped, and it is an edible fish.
In addition, they have developed hearing, is especially sensitive to the smell of blood. Any little bloody smell will arouse the violent attacks of large groups of piranhas.
Once they find that the prey bites it, they will never let go. They always bite the fatal part of the prey first, causing it to lose its ability to escape.
and then tear the flesh off with the power of the body. Of course, at this time, they attacked in groups in turn, rushing up one after another and taking a bite, then walking away, and the others continued.
When using fangs to tear the prey until a pile of bones is left, can bite 16 cubic kilograms of meat in one bite, and its speed is incredible.
Piranhas are strong and easy to raise, but they are not suitable for mixing with fish that do not have self-protection ability. It has become one of the most notorious animals due to its sharp teeth and its swarms of attacking large animals.
Piranha Misconceptions
Most people think piranha is cruel, but you absolutely can't imagine that Piranha is actually a timid animal.
Especially when homes are more timid, they will hide in a corner of the fish tank.
and it is clumsy in size and slow swimming. Why is this happening to
?
Scientists believe that the body shape of the discus is the symbol of their mutual recognition. Piranhas also have a unique nature, which is that they are extremely fierce only when they are in groups. Once out of place or small in number, they become very timid. If they are not hungry, they will not attack even if they put their hands into the water. It even shrinks into a ball in the corner.
is absolutely impossible to imagine. They are even shy and will not actively attack creatures larger than themselves.
So the problem is coming!
Can piranhas not eat people?
It is worth mentioning that there are many varieties of piranhas.
. Groups of piranhas often eat animals that accidentally enter the water and only bones are left in a short period of time, and even eat people who enter the water and.
is because the river water is really turbid, and the visibility usually does not exceed 1 meter. The distance from the prey when the piranha attacks cannot be greater than 25 cm.
According to records in tropical areas, there are still many records of human beings being attacked by piranhas.
Even in the early years, there were piranha attacks in Liuzhou, Guangxi, my country.
On the afternoon of July 7, 2012, a resident of Liuzhou City took his pet to Liujiang River to play. Suddenly he was attacked by several fierce fish. He endured the pain and lifted the fish to the shore and found that a piece of meat had been bitten off from his hand.
He was very curious about what it was, so he took the fish back and sent it to the local fishery administration department to let the experts check what kind of fish it was. After some identification of , he found that it was a piranha.
In order to capture piranhas, a local notice was also issued:
"Any piranha caught during centralized seizures in the urban section of Liujianghe River will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan per piece if verified."
Many people are puzzled, why does it appear in Guangxi, my country?
It turns out that it is belongs to the invasion of new alien species.
Fortunately, even if we can't catch piranhas, it will definitely die in winter.
Because the water temperature of rivers in our country will drop to 15 degrees in winter, they cannot tolerate this weather at all, and the temperature loss accompanies them.
On December 26, 2013, the temperature in Rosario, Argentina reached 38℃, and the weather in is "deadly hot". People could not bear it anymore and jumped into the Parana River to cool down and cool down.
However, during the swimming process, about 60 people were attacked by large-scale piranhas, including children.
Who is the natural enemy of piranha?
According to statistics from biologists:
There are more than 20 piranhas found, not only appearing in the Amazon River, but also in the Andes of South America, and in some Latin American countries from the Caribbean Coast to northern Argentina.
is aggressive, including red-gilled piranha, red-bellied piranha and other types. The representative of these is the red-bellied piranha who sold well in the domestic market in China.
And the natural enemy of piranha is the electric eel.
Electric eel is a delicious food for humans, but I didn’t expect it to become a natural enemy of piranhas.
The electric eels released at one time can electrocute all the piranhas. Once they encounter electric eels, the brutal piranhas will be obedient in an instant.
Of course, in addition to this, there are humans and other creatures.
Although piranhas are shy creatures, we must not get close to it. Once you get close to it, you still have the behavior of attacking people. You should not ignore it for your own life!
