'''Piranhas''' are a group of [[South America]]n freshwater fish.
Most species are carnivorous, but not all, some using their serrated teeth to eat fruit. A school of the red piranha can skeletonise a cow in under two minutes. Consequently, they are one of the most feared fishes of South America, along with the [[electric eel]] and the [[candiru]].
Piranha's voracious appetites make them easy to fish for (though hooked fish will be devoured by other members of the school unless reeled in swiftly); their white flesh, though filled with many small bones, can be a valuable source of protein to inhabitants of the Amazon region.
Piranhas are a surprisingly popular aquarium fish.
