"Vicious Piranha Moments." True. You never see sweet and adorable Piranha moments.

Their ability to clean the meat from the bones like that is incredible

The guy that was doing the duck in distress looked like he was dunking a tea bag.

The Otters are the real savages.. Eating piranhas likes it's a hamburger.

Did you know that a piranha can devour a child down to the bone in less than 45 seconds? Anyway, I lost my job at the aquarium today.

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 💩!"

The piranhas remind me of people’s reaction when a kid pulls out a bag of chips at school

Fisherman: "I've been hunting piranhas for a very long time" Also fisherman: * sticks a finger into piranha's mouth *

Props to the piranha filming under the water, masterful.

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 😂

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.

Being eaten alive by piranha’s is a terrifying way to go

The movies about these fish have made them even bigger Legends than they already were.

The reason they're so frenzied is because they're cannibals, they'll eat each other without thinking, so get in, get a bite, and get out fast.... freakin' take a moment to acknowledge being a human is great lol....

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

the piranha who but the knife blade: you wanna know... how i got these scars

Wow, this video is 20 years old. I remember watching this on TV as a kid.

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.

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.

am just now planning a nice trip to the jungle for me and my mother in law haha

Props to the camera man who was inside the duck to get recordings of those piranhas.

Thank you for putting him back in the water.

It really is amazing how something so small can be so ferocious

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?

And the guy in the back is like? I could have feed my whole family with that duck!

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.

Narrator: ...what fascinates charlie though, is how frenzied they are at devouring... Me: Have you seen my relatives when they hit a wedding buffet?

Love how he just dangles a corpse of the side of the boat 😂

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.

I would never be standing up in that boat.

I love how they started playing metal in the back for a second 😭😭

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..

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

The one who were wearing ear plugs while watching this, i can understand what they went through during the intro 😭😂😂 !!

5:26 Even the piranha is like, “Ha ha! I really I got you there, didn’t I!?

My girlfriend loves piranhas. She keeps biting me

Giant Otters love them😂 what a bad as- animal! Thank you for the video.

I used to fish for and eat them when I lived in Guyana - they are delicious 👍

A striking instinct of underwater invasion, the piranha fish are lethal predators.

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)

Seems like a good place to go swimming 🙂

Just up at 1am lol wondering how I got here 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

Why are little otters the cutest animals but giant otters give me nightmares......

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.

I had a large red bellied piranha many years ago. I used to tickle it's stomach, he really didn't like it but he never once went for me.

Really powerful creatures!

The first fish got a dental check-up

That river otter is a bad ass.

0:19 I just love the British distress on the bait.

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?

Imagine stumbling and falling from the boat at the moment when you're "feeding" the piranha fishes... I don't even want to think about it.

title: vicious piranhna moments video: number 1, otters me: OH NO

Love the sound effects.

Any sort of vicious, aquatic gangsta comes to an abrupt end as soon as an adult electric eel shows up. A rather shocking event some may say.

I love that potato chip *crunch* when narrator gets bitten

I lol’d when it bit his finger

As I release him hope his memory is not so good had me laughing for 5 mins straight

Glad I am not a duck

That's like me after a Saturday nite of drinking ,next day finding bones and morsels of a 2am feast.😁😭🤣

Lets all congratulte the cameraman for getting underwater shots of pihranas without getting eaten

When I was younger my brother kept a red bellied piranha. In summer the tank filter failed and the whole tank silted up. We cleaned the glass, which only made things worse. We fished around with a net for hours and found nothing, so concluded it was dead. For some daft reason I reached in the tank and removed the filter and tank fittings. Several hours later we went back to empty the tank. By then the silt and algea had settled, the water had cleared, only to reveal a five inch fish merrily swiming around! I learned something that day....piranhas are not the murderous predators of movies.

Leave the pirahana alone 🤔🤔 The black piranha is like: you gonna put me back..?! Or not cuz I’m running out of oxygen here pal… 😂

this is truly a vicious pranha moment

Excellent video, very informative!! I wanted to get a closer, longer look at the piranha bite on your finger 🤞

That black piranha with the red eyes and vicious teeth will give me nightmares. Too bad you got bit.

Love me some piranha action!

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.

Both my best friends had red belly piranhas we use to pick them up in New Jersey. Very skittish fish they are.

THAT'S WHAT WE DO TO DRUNK DRIVERS WE LITERALLY SCARE THE SNAPS OUT OF DRUNK DRIVERS

Paranas are terrifying.

I like my piranha like I like my goldfish... nibbling on dehydrated fish flakes.

They are very notorious creatures !

Do piranhas have any natural predators?

Lolool that certainly is a magnificent set of mashers ! Boom got em

Crazy is what I bring to the party, chico!

What a horrible boat trip. Surrounded by vicious packs of piranha

This is like swamp people where you see the same three clips recycled over and over

Piranha's always remind me of Phil Foden the Manchester City player.

This was a good video makes me feel excited to watch this knowing of this piranhas and it's interesting

Thanks now I can suggest a lovely spot for my mother in law to take a dip...

Great vid BBC earth!!

It's good seeing piranha getting eaten at the end.

The gold shining one and red belly are the high price fishes in aquarium market

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.

They watch when an animal struggles & when it doesn't mive after the 1st bite they all eat. They areactually just cleaning the water.

Reminds me of corporate medicine feeding on nurses and patients alike. 🥶

When you avoid biting on the metal fork yourself but let the fish grind down his teeth

Just like Downing Street when someone says “There is a party downstairs”

They are from the Amazon thank god they are there.

That "Ooww" is almost as good as "Chorley beet moy finga"

Piranhas remind me of miniature “sharks.”

Piranha: No, dude. I do it like this.

So _this_ is what happened to Uncle Scrooge . . . 😭

Every fish waits his turn for a quick bite Nothing goes waste

First one reminds me of that scene in “You Only Live Twice.”

When I was a kid e we used to ride our bikes down the road to this trailer park in GA. Dude has piranhas. 3 of them in a fish tank. Crazy

the one thing which isnt exaggerated from comics and movies :)

Those are some crazy teeth for a fish that size ....

It is what it is. Put the black piranha back in the water now unless you're having it for lunch

2:27 Hopefully his memory isn't so good Piranha: PTSD 4 life
