The Truth About Piranhas: Debunking the Myths and Misconceptions

Piranhas are a type of carnivorous fish that are native to the rivers and streams of South America, particularly in the Amazon and Paraná river basins. They are known for their sharp teeth and aggressive behavior, and are often feared as man-eaters. However, most piranhas are not large enough to pose a significant threat to humans, and they typically feed on smaller fish and other aquatic animals. Some species of piranha can grow up to 20 inches (50 cm) in length and weigh up to 4 pounds (2 kg). Piranhas are also known for their schooling behavior, and they can be found in large groups in the wild.
