The piranha is a family fish native to South American rivers. They are called caribes in Venezuela. For the amount of fear they instill in people, the piranha is a relatively small fish. They are generally only 6 to 10 inches in length, but can grow up to 18 inches in length. Piranha are best known for their sharp teeth and voracious appetite for meat.
