Don't fall in :blink:

Just because I work at an aquarium with piranhas and it irks me the misconceptions that people have: PIRANHAS WILL NOT EAT YOU IF YOU FALL IN THE WATER. :angry:

 

Piranhas love anything that is dead, dying, sick or bleeding or smaller then them. They are not predators, they are scavengers. So if you are healthy and not bleeding you can swimming in the river and be perfectly safe. There are other dangerous and larger fish and reptiles though.

Thanks for the clarification! Okay let me revise my statement. Don't slip and cut yourself before falling into that water :D
