Piranhas are freshwater fish native to South America, especially the Amazon Basin. Known for their sharp, triangular teeth and powerful jaws, they often carry a fierce reputation. In reality, most species are opportunistic feeders, eating insects, plants, and small animals, not just meat. While some species can be aggressive, many are relatively shy and pose little threat to humans. They usually live in schools, which helps protect them from predators and makes hunting more efficient.
