Some days just aren't your day

quote:

man has reportedly died in Brazil after jumping into a lake to escape bees, only to drown and be eaten by piranhas.

The 30-year-old was fishing with friends when he jumped into a farm lake in the municipality of Brasilandia de Minas on Sunday, according to the local Fire Department.

A firefighter who performed the rescue said the carnivorous fish has disfigured the man's face and other parts of his body.

Don't be so sure. They have been available in the US aquarium trade for well over 40 years. Not a chance in hell that some haven't been released into inland waters.

Granted I have no idea prolific they are, but I'm thinking they'd easily adapt and be quite content.

Can we release schools of piranhas in the Rio Grande?

Eta, when I was a teenager getting into the hobby, they were available in the back rooms of quite a few pet shops. They absolutely cut the toughest African and South American cichlids to ribbons with little to no effort.
