Do piranha have natural enemies? There are many natural enemies of piranha in nature, including egrets, birds, herons, electric eels, crocodiles, otters, freshwater dolphins, catfish, humans and so on. Let's take a look at the natural enemies of piranha.

The high-voltage current emitted by an electric eel can send more than 30 piranha to the "electric chair" for death, and then slowly eat them.

On the other hand, the stinging catfish is good at making use of its sharp thorns. Once targeted by the piranha, it swims under the bottom piranha as fast as it can, and moves synchronously no matter how the piranha swims. If the piranha wants to bite it, the thorn catfish immediately thorns angrily, making the piranha helpless, and the piranha ranks first in the Amazon killer list, while the piranha only ranks fourth.

Due to the large number of catch by local people every year, the number of piranha decreases in nature, and some species are even very rare.

The Amazon is rich in plants with poisonous roots that are stirred in chopped beef and poured into lakes or rivers with piranha, so that the bodies of the piranha float all over the lake in less than an hour.
