For a wounded ox or horse to fall into the river m eans certain death; it is also fatal for a human being to get among a shoal of piranhas, es pecially if there is any sore or wound on his body. P iranhas can scent their prey far away, and go literally mad at the taste of blood. It is a sickening spectacle to see these fierce fish conducting a m ass attack.
