Piranhas swarm city streets during flood.

Recently, something quite unusual and alarming has been occurring in Brazil. It seems that flesh-eating piranhas have made their way into the flooded streets of Porto Alegre, a city in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Videos have emerged showing these deadly fish swimming in the flood water, while others are found lifeless on the dry land.

These sightings have caused quite a stir, as the fish are not native to the area. The majority of them were spotted in Lake Guaiba, a large body of water that overflowed from its banks due to the heavy rain that has been plaguing Brazil for the past few weeks. However, some of these piranhas have also found their way into the city's streets, causing even more concern.

According to reports, this is not the first time that piranhas have been found in Lake Guaiba. However, their presence in the flooded streets is a new and alarming development. One expert explained that these piranhas were most likely brought into the city by the overflowing waters from the Uruguay and Jacuí rivers, which flow into Lake Guaiba.

The increasing numbers of these red piranhas in the area have been a cause for concern among fishermen, as they have been known to attack other fish and disrupt the natural food chain. This, in turn, affects the fishermen's livelihoods, as their catch is reduced. In fact, one fisherman shared a video of a dead piranha lying on a ledge in the city, just 1km away from Lake Guaiba.

Even social media influencers have taken notice of this strange occurrence. One influencer, Jakelyne Loiola, posted a video of a piranha swimming in the city's flooded streets with a caption expressing her surprise and concern. She also shared the opinion of biologists, who have stated that while piranhas are carnivorous and can bite, they are not typically fatal to humans.

This is not the first time that Brazil has experienced such unusual events due to heavy rain and flooding. In December, crocodiles were spotted swimming down the streets of Queensland, Australia, much like the piranhas in Brazil. It seems that these extreme weather conditions have caused not only damage and displacement, but also unexpected and dangerous encounters with wild animals.
