SEP. 4,2025 / Analytical Editors

  Many people have heard the exaggerated stories of crazed schools of piranhas lurking beneath the waters of the Amazon River. Interestingly, it was US President Theodore Roosevelt who helped popularize these tales. He famously called piranhas “the most ferocious fish in the world,” which cemented their fearsome reputation. However, piranhas are not as violent as Roosevelt’s account, Hollywood movies, and adventure novels portray them.
  Kevin:Far from being ruthless killers, piranhas typically feed on worms, insects, small fish, and plants, helping maintain healthy river ecosystems.
