Piranhas are known for their sharp teeth and an aggressive appetite for meat. They are found only in the Amazon basin, in the Orinoco, in rivers of the Guyanas, in the Paraguay-Paraná, and in the São Francisco River systems. Piranhas are normally about 15 to 25 cm long (6 to 10 inches), although reportedly individuals have been found up to 43 cm (18.0 inches) in length. Locals often use piranha teeth to make tools and weapons. Piranhas are also a popular food, though if an individual is caught on a hook or line it may be attacked by other piranhas. They are commonly consumed by subsistence fishermen and often sold for food in local markets.
