Piranhas are known to be one of the deadliest sea creatures in the world. With its razor sharp teeth and fast attacks, then because of the movies created to inspire by piranhas.
But one TV show, which was hosted by Jeremy Wade entitled, River Monsters will show you that piranhas are not attracted by live creatures without the scent of blood.
Jeremy created an experiment by putting 100 red belly piranhas in a swimming pool. These piranhas have not yet claimed anything. In short, these are hungry piranhas.
The first thing that he did was to drop blood inside the pool to see how they would react if they smelled a blood. They went around the cloud of blood, but they could not sense any fresh meat. Then, Jeremy decided to put in a piece of meat.
Within seconds after putting the meat, one piranha attacked it, which attracted a couple of piranhas more.
But surprisingly, when Jeremy swam in the pool, but the piranhas ignored him. Not a single attack was made.
This only proves that these fishes will only strike if they sense a smell of blood.

ReplyDeleteYou people sicken me with your BS.
Jeremy is nothing short of being a sensationalist and a twig.
ReplyDeleteSecondly...piranha WILL bite without sensing the lure of foid.They will bite at things that move quickly .
I belonged to a piranha enthusiast group.We raise piranha. A member who had his red belly for 8 years got too comfey and reached in the tank after something and was bit for the first time.And it got him goid.You never tempt fate or take any wild creature for granted.Look at what happened to Steve Irwin. Carelessness breeds accidents among the stupid.
that should read "...the lure of FOOD..."
