The fish is very very common here, and many people are attacked every year. II know a colleague of a colleague who was attacked by one... He needed a surgery and now he is afraid of swim in some places.

If one were to ask the locals which of the river's indigenous species is the most treacherous, a few might describe the roaming packs of  carnivorous piranhas, or the massive anaconda snakes; but based on the general sentiment of the region, the most frequently uttered response would be "<I>candirú</I>."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=797"><P>The candirú is a tiny catfish which dwells in the depths of the Amazon River.  These fish do not hunt in packs like the piranha, nor are they exceptionally large like the anaconda.  In fact, the candirú is among the tiniest vertebrates on the planet, and it is sometimes referred to as the "toothpick fish" due to its small size and slender shape.  Only a handful of people have had the misfortune of crossing paths with the candirú, but their experiences serve as cautionary tales to any who venture into the mighty river. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=797"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.damninteresting.com/img/5542D81A-AD0C-4B2F-ACC7-B3C9CC99A125" alt="A candirú attached to a host fish" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=797"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.damninteresting.com/img/0EFED852-76AB-4816-8AAC-ED61D204B62D" alt="DO NOT BACK UP, SEVERE URETHRA DAMAGE" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9E71747A-8A10-46E9-9F91-31A767DA0697/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
