Piranhas attacked and left bloody wounds on multiple beachgoers at a Brazilian resort earlier in May, it was reported in recent days.
While there were no fatalities, the vicious piranha swarm consumed a chunk of flesh off the victims' legs and feet, as visible on the bite marks, according to the reports.
Although rare, the incident adds to several reported piranha attacks on humans in the past.
For decades, piranhas have been a subject of both wildlife interest and pop culture, with the latter showing they are a notorious, bloodthirsty fish that also craves for humans.
