Red-bellied Piranhas make sounds that can sound like a dog bark. They make these sounds when they are caught by fishermen

Piranhas have a reputation as some of the most dangerous freshwater hunters

They are terrifying predators capable of devouring a large mammal in mere minutes

The piranha's most recognisable feature is its triangular, razor-sharp teeth

They can grow up to 60 cm in length. Their teeth are usually around 4 mm tall

Despite their reputation, piranhas are more likely to scavenge than kill

They are opportunistic feeders. While some species hunt, most scavenge or consume plant material
