Habitat: Piranhas live mainly in the fresh water of South America: the Amazon's Basin, the Paraguay-Parana Basin, the Northeast of the Brazilian coastal reivers, and in the Essequibo Basin. They live in a fairly soft acidic water with a temperature of 71-81 degree Fahrenheit.

Diet: Native fish, human flesh, jaguars, large cattle, anything thats bloody.

Predators: Humans, caimans, catfish, herons, and ants.
