Read on for some fun facts about these incredible creatures! Let's begin with some fun facts about Piranhas! First of all, piranhas are omnivores, meaning that they eat plants and animals. They are very fast, and their powerful bite can cause up to 72 pounds of force. They have sharp teeth that are constantly growing, and they need to replace them constantly. They grow four sets of teeth in their lifetime. This means that they will need to replace their teeth every 100 days. As they can't survive without their teeth, they usually eat plant matter, but they will occasionally take a larger animal for a snack. In addition to eating plants, piranhas will also eat animals. Although they are mostly vegetarian, some species are considered to be omnivores. This means that they won't eat humans. Even though they may look dangerous, piranhas are very rare. A few of them live in aquariums and can be spotted in the wild. If you're looking for some facts about piranhas, take a look at the video below.

What do the piranhas do to him? As it turns out: nothing at all. The school of piranhas remains at the other end of the pool most of the time. They do move close as Jeremy stays still.
