In New Guinea, there is an animal that tears a large piece of flesh from an unsuspecting fisherman, and the incident was first reported in the Australian News; In northern Papua New Guinea, two separate attacks took place in the Sepik River.
Piranha attacks
In Papua New Guinea, Patrick, a local fisherman, was attacked while taking a bath by the river in front of his house while fishing, and the monster that attacked him was strong and agile, his teeth pierced his flesh like a vise, and a part of his body was bitten off, and finally bled to death.
The second attack was very similar, with Francisson going to the river to wash dishes, which he had done often before, but this time it was very different, and this time he did not return home.
There was a local fisherman named Ksakot, who had been attacked by a monster in the river, and he was working, and then something under the water hit his leg, and then he tried to take the leg back, and it hit it again and then it bit the leg and dragged it into the water.
It struggled desperately, upstream toward the riverbank, very painful, and then he saw the tooth marks, like human teeth, and he said that whatever it was, it was not only fast and ferocious, but also very strong.
Papua New Guinea is located in northern Australia. At the confluence of the Coral Sea and the South Pacific Ocean, it is home to one of the most vibrant and pristine islands in the world. Humans have lived here for more than 50,000 years, but the environment here has changed very little compared to prehistory; Many places are unexplored and new species are constantly being discovered, so is this river killer new, or has it been hidden here for hundreds of thousands of years?
Piranhas
Freshwater pomfret
Freshwater pomfrets live mainly in South America in the southern hemisphere and do not belong to the Sepik River Basin, why are they found here?
It was later discovered that the pomfret had been artificially placed locally, and the introduction of species was likely to cause a devastating blow to the river; With no natural enemies and plenty of food, exotic species pose a serious threat to nature's balance.
Local elders say there are not many species of river fish, and none of them can attack humans, but it has not been developed here, and new species are often found.
Pomfret was originally a vegetarian fish, but here the habit was broken; Pomfret, a vegetarian relative of piranhas, also seems to have become fond of the taste of meat;
Since they like meat, will they also eat human flesh, if they do not have enough regular food, then it will be driven by the instincts of animals; In order to survive they eat everything, piranhas are small but dangerous, but pomfrets can grow to large sizes.
Papua New Guinea has no commercial fishing and no predators underwater, so it is likely that after 10 years, the pomfret here will be larger than in the Amazon Basin
More than 12 species of fish in South America, home of pomfret, belong to the pomfret family, and the species introduced to Papua New Guinea are the largest of them.
As they grow, the red color on their bellies fades and turns into terrifying trolls with pomfret mouths that are powerful and powerful. Being able to bite nuts that fall from trees, let alone the soft tissues of a human body.
Vegetarian fish becomes carnivorous fish
If they behave like piranhas, the river's ecosystem will change radically, with vegetarian fish turning carnivorous, perhaps scientifically sensational.
But here, this transformation is for survival, and the locals imagine them as devils, because when bitten by it, there will be torn wounds on your body.
The wound was unevenly torn and very painful, and some people said that if the piranha bites you, you will not notice, because the incision is very flat, if you are bitten by a pomfret, you will know immediately.
When this fish hears a sound in the water, it does not swim in the opposite direction like other fish, and swims along with the sound, with its mouth wide open, and there is no doubt that freshwater pomfrets are freshwater killers.
Vegetarian fish turned carnivorous fish, an oversized piranha that likes to eat human flesh, and an exotic species became a murderous maniac here, dominating the entire Sepik River Valley
A seven conclusions
The people who live here have accepted the fact that they want to coexist with freshwater pomfrets, which is another undesirable consequence of inadvertently violating the laws of nature.
Know that Pandora's box, once opened, can never be closed.
