Goliath Tigerfish: The Super-Sized Piranha

Video Overview & Insights

Imagine crossing a shark with a piranha. That's how one experienced angler describes the "living nightmare" known as the Goliath tigerfish.

NO A.I. PLEASE!!!

アフリカのゴライアスタイガーフィッシュのゴリアテタイガーフィッシュのムベンガは魚を食べているのにドイツのキーボードクラッシャーはキーボードを拳で叩いてキーボードを素手で殴ってキーボードに当たってキーボードを壊すよな。

Funny thing is, they’re related to tetras

If a skeptic does not believe these things are real perhaps they might believe it when they are missing an arm and leg!

God decided to fuse a crocodile with a fish, dropped it in the Amazon and told the residence that it's their problem.

People who fish are real a holes. Real men protect those weaker than themselves.

Andy the fisherman is comfortable with telling tall tales. Source: I have caught more tigerfish than I can remember.

American narrators always make things look more dramatic than it actually is. I live in Africa never heard of any one being attacked by a tiger fish yet yet here they're comparing it to a Piranha 🤦

It's a Goliath tiger fish.. no need to try and up sell it ! Lost me there with a thumbs down.

Bad tooth comparison !
Its teeth dont resemble a Great White sharks or Piranha in any way ! It's tooth structure is closer to a crocodiles. They are used for skewering and holding fish versus slicing off chunks.

It swims faster than the fastest human sprinter!

Ive seen one in the..scales and the vids dont do this monster justice! My friend [the idiot trying to catch one] and myself [the idiot who said hed help and almost got his nose bitten off] and our 2 guides[the locals who were marveling at the idiocy of the 2 foreign idiots] went to catch one, we succeded and while trying get it in the boat i found myself holding a VERY angry 100lb 5+foot tigerfish who was nowhere near done fighting. after about 4 or 5 very close snaps from that very scary set of teeth came the one that took off most of my beard! i felt that said fish deserved to be free and threw his ass back in the river! My fellow idiot was irate(the locals were quite amused) and carried on about my letting the fish go. I told him he coulld jump in and get it back, but my idiocy has limits!!

Crocs eat those fuckers all the time..Love how they try make these things larger than life..Taste like tuna also...

It's like a piranha on steroids

@detroitfan9596
@

pretty sensationalist. it doesn't say anything about whether or not it is solitary or a school hunter, which is the real strength of the piranha.

Ancient aliens came down here and mixed their DNA with our fish and this is what we got!!!! Another History channel fact I learned! :)
