Its a fisherman's paradise.
And its full of river monsters.

Fisherman: but I only want to catch fish

[shaunlee]

Seems like 90 percent of the scary fish are either related to the piranha or the catfish

Welcome to the Amazon river, where everything's got teeth!

[ChaBawbe]

"Everything has teeth, everying is eating everything else" that's the perfect definition of chaos, love it <3

[xbrazzers]

puts both arms in an Amazon river to give the payara a chance to recover, not knowing what else is lurking near by like a boss 💪

[iliveretro]

“Precise engineering going on” lol idk why that is so funny to me

[Shaun_Jones]

If I remember correctly, this was the first fish ever caught in the first episode of the first season of the show; it’s a hell of an introduction.

Payaras may look terrifying but I find them strangely beautiful but in a deadly way.

So... how many fish in that river would tear up a human stuck in it?

[richmondlandersenfells]

That is actually a very nice looking environment. Never mind the surging hostile waters.

No way would i put my hands into that water to let the fish go 😂

[joehow]

I watch this on weekends with my mum and dad

[mastery]

The Payara looks almost like a smaller version of the Xiphactinus, the extinct fish that swam the oceans in the late cretaceous period.

Piranha family!!? It looks like a distant family of trout

[jasonun]

In Brazil it's called payara but in English it's called vampire fish

[forestmanzpedia]

That fish has a deathly stare like it's about to kill and devour anything in the near.

[zacimusprime]

Dam that’s awesome this thing’s like the sabre tooth of the sea 🌊

[shovon]

Payars are the piranhas whose teeth fell off on childhood due to bad dental hygiene

[rin]

Imagine being a fish and this old geeza comes a long and starts closing and opening your mouth.
