15 Deadliest River Monsters Of The Amazon

The Amazon River is a beautiful, iconic river and a giver of life. But, man, is it the deadliest place on Earth or what? Just about every animal that lives there is more than willing and able to kill you. So, from a quirky sounding terror to Dracula's favorite fish, let's dive in and take a look at the 15 Deadliest River Monsters of the Amazon!

The gnocch isn't native to or found in the Amazon. Its native to the northern rivers of the Indian subcontinent. Also it doesn't take on crocodiles as no crocodiles live in the rivers that far north.

The goonch isn't actually from the Amazon. Their home is in the large rivers of India.

The fact that this video got as many views as it did is amazing. The spreading of misinformation you presented in this video is astounding.

[joeysands]

They're really misusing the term "deadly" here. Only 6 or 7 of these creatures are actually really dangerous to humans.

Most of the footage they showed of the goonch was actually footage of wells catfish 🤣

You’ll fish all your life in the Amazon and never catch a Goonch. They live in India. And all those Wells Catfish you showed don’t live there either. Yeesh

Got less than a minute into this video talking about the Goonch and showing so many clips of wells catfish. Can’t get it right or identify species correctly don’t do it. Also the Goonch is from India.

Jeremy wade is legendary he's caught a lot of these he's in almost every clip

Back in 2009 my son and I took my bay boat out on the Mississippi river for 3 months. When we were in St. Louis we started fishing and because of how large some of the alligator gar and catfish are, we had steel leaders. That way they couldnt just snap the line. Something hit my bait so hard and fast, I almost lost my rod and reel. Luckily the real handle got caught and stopped it from going swimming. After an hour and a half we were able to see it. I was thinking a huge catfish and my son was thinking alligator gar. Neither one of us was right. This was a 5 and a half foot long Bull Shark. After we got it into the boat to take some pictures, a game warden comes over to ask us for our fishing licenses and to see what in the blue world we landed. I didnt have a scale but the Game Warden did. This shark was 321pds. Talk about freaking me out. I know that they live in rivers but I wouldnt have ever thought this far in.

I was on the Amazon twice in 2008. First in the broad Lower Amazon using motor powered dingies several times a day. The power of the River and its drug ridden local inhabitants seemed more threatening than most of the wildlife. But the second foray into the Upper Amazon above Iquitos with daily and nightly excursions by paddle driven dugout canoes was astounding. Floating 2 or 3 inches above the water line and approached by most of the predators show here for a week was an unbelievable experience. We were accompanied by very informative naturalists and in each canoe had an experienced guide and a canoe handler for a total of 6 or 7 people. We went quite far north and spent most of the trip in Peruvian waters. At night we enjoyed gourmet meals on a cabin cruiser that accommodated 20 including the small crew. It was an adventure not to be forgotten. We even made it into a small village on a tiny tributary whose inhabitants had not before been visited by Europeans. There were not many firsts still possible to eco travelers in the 21st century, but this was cutting edge at the time. We were a long way from help if there we had an emergency. This last adventure fulfilled my lifelong travel dream, stoked by slides of a family friend in 1955 who had taken the mail boat up and down between Iquitos an Belem. Then we’re screened in the living room for 3 hours when I was 12 years old. I would not have imagined the adventure to be possible otherwise. Now approaching 80, I am grateful to have seen much of the world in a shoestring budget. The Amazon trips were gifts for which I am eternally grateful.

Years ago, I've had a colleague whose husband almost got his leg amputated due to a flesh eating bacteria, which he recounts he might have gotten when they went to Amazon River. He's a seafarer and was sent back to our country for proper treatment. Didn't know all the details but I've seen his leg when he was hospitalized, it's as if you can see an anatomical model of the leg's muscles, tissues and bone. So terrible. But he's recovered and well now. ❤️
