Opinion about Piranhas!

Jeremy Wade walked into a pool full of piranhas. Here's what happened. In 1976, a bus crashed into the Amazon River, killing 39 people. By the time rescuers arrived, some bodies were so badly mutilated by piranhas they could only be identified by their clothing. It became one of the most chilling piranha stories ever told. But Jeremy Wade, the biologist behind River Monsters, wanted to test the reality behind the legend. He filled a pool with piranhas. Poured blood into the water. Fed them raw meat on a string right in front of him — just to confirm they were hungry. Then he climbed in. The piranhas swam to the other side. Not one touched him. He did it a second time in open water. Same result. Peer-reviewed research supports what Wade demonstrated on camera. Of 711 documented piranha attacks on humans in Brazil, over 82% were single defensive bites to the hands or feet — fish protecting a nest, not a feeding frenzy. There is no confirmed case in scientific literature of a healthy, living human being killed and eaten by piranhas. The victims from that 1976 crash almost certainly drowned first. Piranhas are scavengers. They finished what the river started. One of nature's most feared predators turns out to be more scared of you than you are of it. The monster was never the fish. It was the myth.
