We're gonna need a smaller boat.

That bites.

City officials said the beach will remain open because it's an important draw for tourists in Brazil's Pantanal region, known for its ecotourism.

Like this guys honesty. Hell no we are not going to shut down the beach, if people are stupid enough to jump in piranha infested water. FARK EM!

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to our stage: "The Toeless Brazilians"

Yeah, see this is why I only swim in man-made pools. Natural waters tend to have various forms of life that have various reasons to maim/kill us.

If that was in the US, the beach would be closed. I like that they have not closed the beach. You still have a choice. So, if you've got an extra toe, or you wanna wear smaller shoes, go for a swim.

Officials have put up large signs warning swimmers about the piranhas, reading in blood red letters: "Attention swimmers. Area at risk of piranha attacks. Danger!"



¡Cuidado! ¡Hay piranha!!!!

fta I'm not going back in for a long time.

It's one ball and no strikes. Darwin sets up for the second pitch...

"City officials said the beach will remain open because it's an important draw for tourists in Brazil's Pantanal region, known for its ecotourism."



Does Not Approve.

Would like to have a word with you.

I wish someone would write a song about a fish. Because fish... are bad...... BAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDD!!!!!!

"The thing about a piranha, it's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When it comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin'... Until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white."

Some folk'll never lose a toe, and then again some folk'll...

You want a toe? Farking amateurs...

i was thinking the the same thing. Though, the did say they would not kill you. No one said you would keep your toes.

Sybarite: Obviously they haven't mastered the anti-piranha bicycle kick.

Damn you!

\shakes tiny, fingerless fist

How many toeless people?

Did they use piranhas before they discovered wax? Seems a bit of a hairy scenerio if you ask me.

Leeds: How many toeless people?

A Brazillian!!!
/Oh the humanity!

This why the piranhas and I have an agreement.

I stay out of their territorial waters, they stay off my lawn.

NEW from Remington: The Piranha! No blades, just thousands of razor-sharp teeth...

Oznog: You want a toe? Farking amateurs...

Could you please keep your voices down, this is a family restaurant.

labman: SmackLT: Glad to see I'm not the only one who read that headline with the word "topless" in it

Me three.

Came in for the topless Brazilian pics. Leaving EXTREMELY disappointed!

Did not watch my buddies die face-down in the muck for this.

Probably just some local fishermen...

This

pxlboy: Wasn't this covered in that River Monsters show? It's the blood they smell, not just anything that moves.

Unless you step on their nest, I think.

Did no one read the article?

Headline: Piranhas bite toes off swimmers in Brazil

Article: "I saw that I had lost the tip of my toe."


Also from the article: "The worst is that the attacks are in shallow water, next to the bank."

Seems to me that you're better off being attacked near the bank as opposed to way out in the deep water...

What Brazilian toes might look like.

Maybe it's just some local fisherman... out for a pleasure cruise...

Solution: Put a cow in the areas that the tourists swim in. When the piranhas attack the cow, everybody should know to get out of the water. Piranhas just love to skeletonize cows.

I kept some piranhas some years ago until they died from neglect.

They acted like normal fish - easily spooked, swam in a school.

I was moving them one day into a bucket so I can clean the tank. I caught one with a little net, and he started thrashing around. I didn't want him to hurt himself to so I grabbed him with one hand to settle him down. Big mistake. He turned in my hand and bit me. Took a huge chunk out. That's when I realized these things can really do some serious damage to a person if he was in the water with these things around.

They grow up to about 1 foot. Mine were only about 4 inches before they died.

That's not what my grandparents (or my father, for that matter) called them.

A brazillian toeless people. That's a lot!

Piranha are only dangerous if they're starving or excited by blood/thrashing. You can swim in the Amazon itself and they'll swim away from you. like any sensible fish when it sees a large potential predator.

And predators they have. Caiman, boto, arowana, otters, and large birds feast on piranha.

came here for the topless Brazilians...wha?...whu?
