Piranhas

             I am doing my Biome report on an animal known as an piranha.
             Piranha's are very interesting animals and I am going to tell you about
             what I have learned about the animal that lives in the amazon river.
             The Piranha is the Amazon River's most famous resident.
             Piranhas are an meat eating fish with razor sharp teeth that are
             capable or tearing through and or into fish. In certain seasons The
             Amazon River's banks may over flow causing many injured animals
             that may be bleeding to fall in to the river. If they are bleeding the
             piranhas can smell it, and then them swarm around in devouring it
             within minutes, only leaving the skeleton behind.
             Piranhas are most dangerous during daylight because they can
             better see their prey before attacking it. During the night piranhas
             rest very quietly around rocks, plants, and many other protected
             areas. (www.piranha.org/biology.html)
             Piranhas often travel in small loosely organized groups. Whether
             they are living in small or large groups they seem very suspicious of
             each other. If a Piranha violates another Piranhas surroundings they
             threaten them or they use aggression. They also approach them
             from the rear because they become very disturbed, when approached
             Piranhas usually leave larger animals than them alone, but
             during certain seasons they attack more often. When the weather is
             very dry the lakes and or rivers they live in
             begin to dry up. This means they have less food and less room, so
             they scramble to eat everything in sight, even other Piranhas.
             Piranhas have many hunting methods such as, ambush,
             approaching under guise, active chases, stalking, and aggressive
             mimicry. I am going to tell you about active chases and approaching
             under guise, because you may not know what they are. Active
             chases is when small groups of piranhas attack small schools of fish,
             causing them to scatter. then they all
