Why Piranha
The Piranha is dangerous and should be respected, but never feared. Exposed as nature's most relentless killers, who would want the association with this animal?
When you think of a Piranha, you probably picture a fierce South American fish with razor-sharp teeth and fierce features. You might think of a river boiling with swarms of hungry fish, stripping an animal to bones in minutes. You probably wouldn't want to come face to face with a Piranha. However, if you did the likelihood is the fish would look you up and down decide you weren't good to eat and swim away.
The name Piranha comes from the South American Indian language Tupi-Guarani. Piranhas have always affected the lives of the people who live near fresh water in South America. Until recently, few scientists studied the behaviour of Piranhas in the wild, so very little is known about these mysterious fish. Biologists are just beginning to discover what Piranhas do for a living.
Piranhas often operate in teams of between eight to twelve. They exist together with the understanding that they are one and the same in mind and strength. A mutual fear is part of their existence. Their common interests accentuate a deliberate empathy in communication, evoking an understanding of individual movements and requirements.
Placid by nature, the Piranha exposes its tenacious character when confronted with an opportunity to develop its culture and well being. Fending off enemies or hunting for nourishment, the Piranha exudes a passion and desire unsurpassed by any other of nature's creatures.
Piranhas are not shark-like in their relentless lone roaming for food and scraps, rather they enjoy and thrive on the support offered by their counterparts. Piranhas are team players, instrumental in the survival of themselves, and perhaps more importantly, their co-inhabitants in the world's relentless environment.
Piranhas go about their business in style and with a flourish. They do not wait for everyone around them to die of boredom...
