食人鱼
When traveling through the rainforest, you naturally can't always lay your hands on common household items, like a pair of scissors, for example.
But when you're surrounded by feisty piranhas, this daring man seems to think it is not a problem.
Gripping a killer piranha with only his bare hand, he shows the frightening bite of the fish by holding up a stick to its mouth and using the animal's jaws as a pair of scissors.
The end of the stick is cut away in a flash, to the shock of onlookers heard gasping behind the camera.
The incredible video, shot in the Cuyabeno Rainforest in Ecuador has been watched close to 900,000 times on YouTube by awe-struck viewers.
Indigenous to South American rivers, the flesh-eating specimens are feared for their row of sharp teeth used for rapid puncture and shearing.
But while the intrepid man in the video gets away unscathed, the very real danger of the fish is currently being felt in China where a man was attacked by a specimen far from home.
A sharp-snouted piranha attacked Zhang Kaibo while he was washing his dog in the Liu river in the south-west Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region of China.
The Chinese authorities have offered a ?100 bounty to anyone who catches any of the piranhas, thought to have been released into the river by a tropical fisherman.
Authorities have trawled the river with a meat-baited net, but despite hauling 10kgs of fish they have yet to catch any.
食人鱼到底有多厉害
最近中国境内出现食人鱼袭击居民事件引起了人们对食人鱼的广泛关注，当地政府也积极出台政策鼓励居民捕捉食人鱼。
同时，国外Youtube网站上的一则拍摄于厄瓜多尔库亚贝诺热带雨林食人鱼的视频吸引了近9万名网友的目光。视频中，这种名为水虎鱼的食人鱼能瞬间将木棍咬断，其锋利程度堪比剪刀。食人鱼不断将木棍一节一节咬断甚至要威胁到手持木棍人的手指，这让旁观者不禁为其捏了把汗。
