GIANT PIRANHAS Discovered In Amazon
Ойын-сауық
By now I think just about everybody in the world knows about Piranhas and how dangerous they are.
From Movies, to documentaries, and gazillions of youtube videos, there is no lack of evidence supporting the deadly reality of this fish. They can attack in a pack of 100 and are also known to eat children.
That’s why it was kind of scary to hear Steve Townson, from Amazon-Angler, tell me climate change and warmer river water may be causing them to grow bigger.
This was just something I had to see for myself.
It wasn’t easy, but after overcoming a few obstacles, we managed to get to the area where Steve said he was noticing bigger Piranhas… and no sooner did we get there than Steve had a Piranha on his line.
Steve: Hey look at that… You think you have seen big Piranha, well take a look at this puppy… That is absolutely huge…. Is that a black Piranha… yes that is a black piranha and he weighs 7.5 pounds.
Now as a general rule, Black Piranhas are always larger than the more popular red belly Piranhas. The world record for a black piranha is just over 8 lbs or almost 4 kilos, but normally, anglers catch them in the 3 to 4 pound range which is about 1 and half to two kilos.
To give you an idea how big this piranha is , I am going to compare it to a regular size Red Belly
With a biting power 3 times that of a crocodile, this not something you want getting any bigger… but over the next hour Steve caught 4 more piranha’s all over 7 lbs!
And that my friends brings me to the question of the day, Do you think global climate change is real and impacting wildlife in ways we don’t understand? Or do you think climate change is just a myth. Let me know your opinion in the comment section below…

I think the climate has always changed and always will. But people will never miss an opportunity to scam others out of money.
In 2002 I took my first trip to Bangkok Thailand and experienced the grey fog pollution there. After 10 days I left Bangkok for a beach town to escape the pollution. It is so nasty you can taste it through your eyes. With this said, I do believe humans have an impact on the earth in terms of climate change. It may not be as bad as people hype it up to be but we do have an impact.
3:03 "biting power 3 times stronger than crocodiles" *sticks hand near the frickin mouth*
black piranha have always been that size, its the red bellies that are smaller
Thats actually an endagered species called the nope fish, usually swimming in the island of oh fuck no, closely related to the indigious Fuck nah fish.

with a biting force 3 times that of a Alligator and 2 times that of T-rex, 4 times that of the Meg and 7 times That of a great white, the piranha has the strongest biteforce through history. That makes the great white look like a chiwawa compared to the beefy black piranha bulldog. More like feed that so called "great white" to the piranhas haha
the way they say "piranha" is so funny lmao
It's called a Pacu, can't believe you didn't research that... They eat nuts that fall from trees along other things.
Warmer water wouldnt make a fish bigger. It would screw up thier spawning cycle and hurt the population.
@NocturnalAquarist

That's actually not true, most tropical fish like Piranha tend to feed and breed more and continue to grow in warmer waters. The warmer water attracts smaller bugs and in return smaller bait fish so they stay around to hunt and breed longer. Its a very common misconception about fish, but 9 times out of 10 as long as a fish has constant food and stable water conditions they'll grow to enormous sizes.
Yes it is changing and I think over the years animals are going to start adapting to the more hotter climate

Bill looks like the bad guy from WALKING TALL when he uses the M249 SAW against The Rock.
I find it hard to believe that a piranha has a stronger bite fore than a crocodile.
damn nature. YOU FUCKIN SCARY!!!!
I don't know. From what I've seen, that's a pretty average sized black piranha. Plus, they are solitary hunters and do not often hunt in packs unlike their red-bellied cousins.
Do you really want to stand up in the boat when you're fishing 7 pound pirahnas?

ost sweinen you heard the man , he's the Amazonian Angler. The pirahnas fear him.
It's them dam big foots are making em that way. Hehehe
Has anyone realized the fact is he is comparing two different species of piranha? The black piranha actually gets bigger than 7lb they as a species get very large especially compared to their red belly cousins. Also the black piranha doesn't swim in large packs like it's red belly cousin but rather it swims in pairs of two.
what the hell is going on Amazon?
I think it's accessibility. I think these huge black pirahnas have always been there, but with the help of technology and amatuer video we are just now seeing them.
I've heard fish never stop growing
Black pirhanas are known to get 2-3x that size
It's a pacu that looks like a piranha

Damn they sell these things on Amazon?
when i used to work in Calif, the company i worked for had a fish tank with one of these in the tank, we fed it hamburger meat with a pencil
Looks like a pacu of some sort
When fishing in a not heavily fished place fish tend to get bigger no one is catching the trophies so yea they get bigger I’m a fishinatic
You should collaborate with Brave wilderness
nice video!!!!
the world's going to heat up so bad everyone's eyeballs are going to pop out! haha!
when somebody from 5 years ago looks back at his comment in 2020 he like,the climate is really changing...
I'd love too believe that global warming makes animals bigger but he just went to the place that was not fished so the piranhas are fully grown
I didnt know Tim and Eric did an educational show!
So hot water makes fish bigger no hot water make fish dinner 😂
The earth has warmed and cooled many times in the past without humans to blame so who knows?
Just what we need monster piranha
That's one huge fish! Lol. 😂
He asked “do u believe in climate change?” Yes also how could u ignore it cuz here in Australia there temp keeps getting so hot and one time in the 40 degrees celsius

The Black Rhom seen one in my local pet store on couple of occasions each time they where about 24 inches long about 20 inches high selling for $1000. 🐟🐟🐟
couldn't it just be that some complex or simple series of events has made it possible for the piranhas to live longer and get bigger, or for the ones that naturally get bigger to occur more often? Of course the climate changes, it always has, but it hasn't changed since piranha records became a thing.

Global climate change- Ha ha ha. Them's are just some big ol Pirañas that have been in an isolated fishing hole undisturbed.
Thats why I always buy on amazon.
Fish growth is dependent on many things, water temp can't be to hot or to cold, oxygenated water, area to roam, food supply..
Man , snakes were my biggest concern when going on water , until I saw this! , New rule , never gonna ride a cheap boat , safety first 😅 .
Excelsior!!!!!!!!
I am severely disappointed by all of this.
Maybe well it just depends sometimes on the area
It’s just they way our planet is changing without the catastrophic events. In my opinion, environment and life itself is adapting in a sequence.
WTF!!!Piranhas so big..😣😣😣Scary!!
No I think you guys just went deep enough to an area where they aren't disturbed by humans so they grow much larger
"Look at dAt" :3
*very good*
Why are the comments fresh and the video is from 2 years ago?
The problem I see is we don't know what the right temperature is supposed to be on Earth. We have only been recording temperature accurately for a couple of hundred years.
When hes like do you want me to show you? Ill show you? Ill really show you? Like nigga im comin im right here
I think the Earth experiences many natural changes over time and we could be heading for a warmer climate , living in the rainy UK I for one am happy to see a little warmer weather
