some words for all those of you who thought fish were harmless pets!
"The piranha is a 60cm razor-toothed, carnivorous fish native to South American rivers and lakes, with a somewhat exaggerated reputation for ferocity, as it does not kill its prey but starts eating the victim alive. Adult piranhas have been known to eat their own babies. However, many people buy piranhas as pets."
