Piranha fish are the fiercest animals in the world. They live in the fresh water rivers of South
America, from Venezuela to Northern Argentina. These fish hunt in groups, called schools. They
usually eat other fish smaller than themselves. Sometimes Piranhas will attack and eat each other.
There are about 18 kinds of piranha fish. Only four kinds attack man. Piranhas have large head
and short thick bodies. They are usually about 20 cm { 9 inches long) but one kind can be as much
as 60 cm (two feet). It lives in the Sao Francisco river from Eastern Brazil. It is one of the most
dangerous fish.
The most noticeable thing about Piranha fish is the large mouth. The mouth has a lot of
triangular teeth with sharp point. The points pierce the skin of the prey. The razor sharp edges of
the teeth chop out pieces of flesh. The teeth of the upper and lower jaws fit together like scissors.
The muscles moving the jaws are big and very powerful.
On the back of the Piranha fish there is a ridge called a keel. There is another keel running
along it belly. The tail is slender and muscular. Its tail fins are broad. All these features held the
piranha to swim fast through the water. The piranha fish cat a large South American rat-like animal,
called a Capy-bara, weighing 50 kilos (100 ponds) to a skeleton in less than 60 seconds.
