Dig into the truth about piranhas and their feeding frenzies, and find out what would likely happen if you fell into their waters.

You’re peering into the Amazon River when, suddenly, you lose your footing and fall. Piranhas dart about in the rapidly approaching water. So, are you doomed? Will your fall trigger a feeding frenzy that will skeletonize your body within minutes? Antonio Machado-Allison shares what we know about these purportedly ferocious fish.

Lesson by Antonio Machado-Allison, directed by Anton Bogaty.
