1. Piranha
This fish is famous for its sharp teeth and appetite greedy, piranha inhabit some of the major river basins in South America. This omnivorous fish are also known for their taste for meat, although attacks on humans are rare enough, but we must remain cautious!
In fact Theodore Roosevelt saw that a bunch of piranhas tearing at the cow in a matter of seconds, is it myth of fact? beats me... :)
However, the piranha is a fish with an important role and predators in their native rivers, and they often do cannibalism if the food will be scarce. It is true that local fishermen sometimes have scars from the bite of the piranha fish.
There are many known species of piranha, with estimates ranging from 30 to 60 species. That's pretty dangerous animal isn't it??

Well this one is probably a species of freshwater fish the most dangerous of all that is here, why? because the fish is a parasitic catfish in Families Trichomycteridae. The Candiru usually takes big fish gills in the Amazon. However, during the past few centuries there have been reports of these creatures living in urethras men and women. Wow, that some dangerous dudes :P.Some natives along the Amazon have explained how to prevent infection disturbing, because if it had been said to be infected very difficult to heal, even with surgery was difficult. The act of protection is to wear thick clothes, don't let the candiru enters your body, and avoid urinating around the river. But sttill, prevention is the most important thing bro.
There are a very few cases of Candiru attacks on humans, one of it is the incident away from 1997 have been addressed. Candiru with an average width of a quarter inch long and an average of three inches, Candiru fish can be called a little large to fit into the urethra. However, the worst can still happen.
