Carnivorous AMAZON escapee!!!

A warning for fisherman around the world...

Piranha hooked in Dutch river
August 18, 2004

A DUTCH angler got a big surprise when he caught a carnivorous piranha, native to Brazil's mighty Amazon river, in a river in the north of the Netherlands.

The ANP news agency has reported that the fisherman, identified as P Scholte, did not know at first what he had caught.

"I thought because of the red belly that it was a red rock-bass," he told ANP.

He took a few pictures of his catch and released it back into the river.

Another angler later told Scholte the fish was a razor-tooth piranha. A quick internet search confirmed the red-bellied fish's identity

Piranhas can grow to 60 cm long and normally live in the rivers and lakes of South America.
