    hi. in my opinion piranhas aren't that dangerous. they are sometimes misunderstood, creatures. maybe you should be aware of them but also people swim in the water where they live and come out unharmed.

    fro_st puppy while I understand this, approaching a shoal of piranhas is in fact dangerous. Thanks for the advice.

    Piranhas don’t live in the ocean as it initially states near the beginning of the clip. Also Piranhas are not as bad as people think, the only time that people are really in danger or being attacked by Piranhas (besides when catching them) is if they are wounded, bleeding and in distress. They sense the distress and see an easy target. On rare occasions people have been attacked (not killed) because the water levels are low making food scarce and also if you disturb their spawn.

    Hey Foxxy, I do apologize about that; that was kind of a cringe 'start' screen. Thanks for your feedback, we will definitely use this to improve our videos in the future :)
