[이슈톡] Sunbathing at risk of life… Argentine teenage girl injured by piranha swarm

The man-eating fish piranhas are notorious for their fear of swarming and eating prey with their sharp teeth.

The fourth keyword is “slandered by a swarm of sunbathing piranhas risking their lives”.

People gather on the Parana River in the province of Santa Fe, Argentina, a sunbathing spot!

I can’t even get into the cool river water and I’m standing around.

Because the hungry man-eating fish piranhas came in swarms and attacked about 30 people.

The most seriously injured was a 13-year-old girl, El Ritotal and other foreign media reported.

At that time, the weather was over 37 degrees Celsius, and while he went into the water to cool off, he was seriously injured and lost one toe in a piranha attack.

Why are piranhas so infested?

The head of the local lifesaving team said that it was because the water level in the river had dropped due to the higher-than-normal temperature.

It is said that over 60 tourists were injured in a piranha attack here on Christmas in 2013.
