𝙍𝙚𝙙-𝘽𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙋𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙝𝙖𝙨 are considered one of the more dangerous and aggressive species of piranha.
Occasionally, they enter into a 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘇𝘆 wherein a shoal of piranha will turn on one large prey, and eat it within minutes.
However, these attacks are usually 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲 and are due to 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 or 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻!
Despite popular belief, piranhas are in fact primarily 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 and 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀, mainly eating plants and insects 🐜🌱🦗
The way i see it, there is no such thing as a "𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹", there is only "𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲"
What do 𝘆𝗼𝘂 think ? 🐠
This video was shot in the 𝗰𝘂𝘆𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 in the Ecuadorian 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 📍🌱🇪🇨
Jimmy, holding the piranha, is a local 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 and 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁. 𝗡𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗸 was used and all fish were placed safely back into the water. 🪝💦
Thank you for watching!
