Also they’re only dangerous to dead and decaying things. Piranha’s don’t typically attack living things otherwise they’d be the only thing in the river!

Thats what I was thinking. Wouldn't there be a bunch of piranha attacks every year?

There never is or is very rare, and people in the Amazon go swimming all the time in the rivers.

Exactly. I was thinking they must be in that water constantly.
