Piranhas is a historic municipality near the western limit of the State of Alagoas, in the Northeast Region of Brazil.
Located on the banks of the São Francisco River, on the border with the State of Sergipe, Piranhas was founded in 1891 and originally named Floriano Peixoto (in honor of the Army General who was one of the founders of the Republic and was later elected President).
It was also known as Porto de Piranhas, because fishermen caught piranhas (a carnivorous predator fish) there.
The town was founded in 1891.
Its architecture is typical of late Empire, Northeast style of constructions.
In the 30s, Piranhas was attacked several times by the cangaceiros, bands of marauders and bandits, commanded by the infamous Lampião, who frequently hid from the police in the rocky outcrops near the city.
Historically Piranhas was the upstream limit of navigation on the lower São Francisco River. Immediately upstream of Piranhas there were impassable rapids, and 60 km further upstream was the major falls at Paulo Afonso. Above those falls the São Francisco became navigable again for over 1500 km.
River Monsters is a British and American wildlife documentary television programme produced for Animal Planet by Icon Films of Bristol, United Kingdom. Hosted by extreme angler and biologist Jeremy Wade who travels around the globe in search of the most fearsome freshwater killers. Looking for clues, eyewitnesses and stories about people who were dragged underwater by these vicious predators, he tries to catch the biggest specimens and then release them back to the wild. His aim is to save these rare creatures from extinction and to help people understand the truth behind the horrific attacks on humans.
River Monsters became one of the most watched, most successful programmes in Animal Planet's history, and one of the most viewed series on Discovery Channel too. In the US, only the shortened version is shown and some animals Jeremy shows are just cut off. These missing scenes are shown only when it premieres on ITV (originally on on Sundays ITV1) in the UK.
River Monsters travels worldwide with Suffolk-born British host, biologist, adventurer and extreme angler Jeremy Wade to explore rivers and lakes to uncover the creatures behind local folklore and harrowing tales of monster fish. The show has taken viewers to Germany, Spain, Italy, Scotland, Iceland, Norway, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, India, Japan, Russia, Suriname, Brazil, Ethiopia, Uganda, South Africa, the Republic of Congo, Mongolia, Guyana, and the American states of Alaska, Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Vermont.
Jeremy has a pool filled with 100 Red Belly Piranhas, to demonstrate how they will only attack when blood and flesh are thrown into the water.

LINK TO SAM'S "BE AMAZED" CHANNELhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkQO3QsgTpNTsOw6ujimT5Q ( MAKE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE!) When we think about swimming in freshwater lakes and ponds, we rarely give a thought about the animals that may lurk within it. But one thing’s for sure, we don’t want to be caught in a situation with a shoal of hungry piranhas. I'm Sam presenting for BillsChannel and today we unravel some of the craziest facts about piranhas. #10 Replaceable Teeth You’ve no idea how similar piranhas are when compared to sharks. With teeth that are often compared to the sharpness of blades, Piranhas too are capable of replacing their teeth regularly throughout their lifespan. #9 Insanely Strong Bite Certain species of piranhas possess some of the strongest bite strength amongst any anim...
By now I think just about everybody in the world knows about Piranhas and how dangerous they are. From Movies, to documentaries, and gazillions of youtube videos, there is no lack of evidence supporting the deadly reality of this fish. They can attack in a pack of 100 and are also known to eat children. That’s why it was kind of scary to hear Steve Townson, from Amazon-Angler, tell me climate change and warmer river water may be causing them to grow bigger. This was just something I had to see for myself. It wasn’t easy, but after overcoming a few obstacles, we managed to get to the area where Steve said he was noticing bigger Piranhas… and no sooner did we get there than Steve had a Piranha on his line. Steve: Hey look at that… You think you have seen big Piranha, well take ...

Join us for the travel adventure of a lifetime as we cruise down the Amazon river in Peru aboard the Delfin I luxury boat. This luxury amazon cruise featured spacious and comfortable rooms along with fine dining and gourmet Amazonian Peruvian cuisine. By day we did boat tours to spot wildlife (including macaws, monkeys, sloths and pink dolphins), hike in the Amazon rainforest doing a canopy walk, fish for piranhas, kayak down the river and visit remote local villages. We considered it adventure travel that we'll remember the rest of our lives and we highly recommend you experience this as well.

The red-bellied piranha or red piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri) is a species of piranha native to South America, found in the Amazon River Basin, coastal rivers of northeastern Brazil, and the basins of the Paraguay and Paraná. They are omnivorous foragers and feed on insects, worms, crustaceans and fish. They are not a migratory species, but do travel to seek out conditions conducive to breeding and spawning during periods of increased rainfall. Red-bellied piranhas often travel in shoals as a predatory defense, but rarely exhibit group hunting behavior. Acoustic communication is common, and is sometimes exhibited along with aggressive behaviors. At this time, the red-bellied piranha is not considered to be a threatened species by the IUCN, and therefore, there are no conservation strategi...

Eye know... I'm not gonna sleep 2nite
Cuz u're not by my side and that ain't right
Eye thought that we bought this bed 4 2
What good is it if eye'm not with you
[Chorus]
Gimme a page on my 2-way
Eye'll hit you back with no delay
When you hear all eye've got 2 say
U're gonna c me
Whether in person or the phone
I've got 2 get you all alone
And when eye do, baby, it's on
U're gonna c me
U're gonna c me
There's never a minute that eye find
That you don't ever cross my mind
If you could just hold me tight u'd c
There is nothing harder 4 you than me
[Chorus]
U're the reason I took a rope
& lassoed the moon
2 prove that when it comes 2 you
There's nothing that eye won't do
Eye would stare in2 the sun
If you would be mine
It's not so great a leap
Since 2 all others eye am blind
Eye know eye'm not gonna sleep 2nite
Cuz ur not by my side and that ain't right
[Chorus]
