As if toxic pollution were not enough to worry about, China’s rivers now face possible infestation by piranhas, with sightings and even attacks on humans apparently on the rise.
A woman in China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region was washing her dog in a local river when a shoal of three piranha suddenly appeared and began attacking her.
One of the fish bit her hand and latched on, but fortunately she managed to shake it loose and throw it to shore, suffering a bloody and badly injured hand in the process. (Picture shown in the link below)
She had never seen such a fish before, but after looking up pictures on the Internet she soon identified it as the notorious red-bellied piranha, normally found in the Amazon but also a long-standing and now relatively staid staple of the tropical fish trade.
