I love it when nature bites humans.

Reminds me of the James Bond movie where the villain has a man attacked by piranhas and then comments "He disagreed with something that ate him "

That man was Bond's CIA friend Felix Lighter, the fish was a shark, and he lost his leg. This happens in Live And Let Die.

@rainmanjr Ta.

@Petter At least, it happens in the book for Live And Let Die. I believe (though I could be wrong) that it happens in the movie The Living Daylights.

There are places where one can "swim with the piranhas." Usually those places have similar looking, but less aggressive fish. A well fed piranha isn't usually a threat to humans.
When I was in Thailand, I watched Pacu being fed. They look like big piranha, but aren't very aggressive. However, when their food was added, the water turned into a frothing madness.
