Meet the flesh-eating fish: Discover South America’s piranha that tears flesh and crushes bone with its deadly bite
Piranhas, known for their sharp teeth and powerful jaws, are efficient hunters in South American freshwater ecosystems. They exhibit complex social behaviour, hunting in schools and using advanced senses to detect prey. Beyond their predatory nature, piranhas also play a vital ecological role as scavengers, contributing to disease prevention and maintaining ecosystem balance.
