The piranha's life is divided into group living and solitary living, group living often hundreds or thousands of them gathered together, the smallest 6 can also be a group, can use vision, smell and water vibration at the same time sensitive feeling to search for attack targets. However, it has poor eyesight and relies on its discus-like body shape to distinguish between similar species.
Piranhas have the guts to attack animals several times or even dozens of times larger than themselves, and they have a well-established "siege tactic". When they hunt, piranhas are always the first to bite their prey on the fatal part of the body.
such as the eyes or tail, so that it lost the ability to escape, and then groups of turns to attack, one after another, rushed forward to bite, and then get out of the way for the back of the fish to leave the position, quickly the target into zero, the speed of its incredible.
