minus-squarenocturne@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·23 hours ago I would also recommend you have fun avoiding getting eaten by piranhas Myth: Piranhas will eat animals much larger (such as a cow) than themselves in seconds. This is 100% false. However, all the movies have made piranhas into these evil creatures that eat anything, it all started with President Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt was an outdoors lover and he went exploring in South America in 1913. He wrote a best-selling book about his travels that was published in a book called Through the Brazilian Wilderness in 1914. There, he described piranhas as ferocious creatures that can bite a finger off a human and eat large animals rapidly.
