SAO PAULO (AP) — Thousands of flesh-eating piranhas have infested a river beach popular among tourists in western Brazil and have bitten at least 15 unsuspecting swimmers, authorities said Wednesday.
Officials in the city of Cáceres in Mato Grosso state said this is the first time they have had a problem with piranhas at the Daveron beach on the Paraguay river, where the aggressive fish began schooling about two weeks ago.
