Description

OK, yes, this is wierd to have a Piranha on my gallery :-)

This is an adult Red-Bellied Piranha (Pygocentrus natteriri), found in the Amazon river and tributaries. This one was photographed in an aquarium.

These are the species seen in horror movies and famed for stripping the flesh from animals in minutes. In real life they tend to eat mostly dead and decaying creatures.

I had to photoshop some background distractions, otherwise the fish is exactly as shot.

"Slicing jaws a way of life
Brought up to waste mankind
Loki's pets, his little children
Deadly eyery time

Trapped in swamps by gates of hell

Don't ever: let them out
For if you do and they escape
You'll fight a bloody bout

Piranha kill in a pack - you'll run
Piranha start to attack - you'll done
If you think you can beat - deadly school
If you think you can live - vou're a fool!"

-Excerpt from "Piranha" by Exodus
