Many people have a very shallow understanding of piranhas, thinking that piranhas are piranhas, regardless of what kind. But in fact, piranhas are divided into many different species. According to the large category, it can be divided into two major categories of piranhas in the genus P and S, and there are dozens of species according to the sub-categories. This time, I will give you a popularization of the piranha this water demon.
The first category: P genus piranhas
Piranhas of the genus P are mainly divided into four species, namely rouge, black spot, macroglove and red-bellied. The four piranhas fall into one category because they are similar in appearance, with round heads and strong jaws, and because of their own differences in color, they have different distinctions.
1. Rouge
Rouge belongs to the larger of the piranhas, the largest can grow to a length of about 60 cm, but also the most beautiful pattern of a piranha, its side often has orange yellow or red flame patterns are very gorgeous.
2. Dark spots
Black spots are medium-sized piranhas, up to a maximum length of about 40 cm, they are called black spots, mainly because of the obvious black markings on their gills.
3. Macroflora
Macrohubarb and black spots are about the same size , hence the name because the abdomen of the macrobrain is generally yellow.
4. Red belly
Red-bellied is a medium-sized piranha, generally no more than 30 cm long, because the abdomen is red, so it is called red-bellied, and it is also the most common piranha species.
The second category: S genus piranhas
The biggest difference between the S genus piranha and the P genus piranha is the way of behavior, the P genus piranha is somewhat like a lion on land, like group activities, while the S genus piranha is somewhat like the king of all beasts Tiger, like to come and go alone. If you distinguish it in terms of appearance, the head of the genus S piranha is more pointed, and the head of the pranha genus P is more rounded. Compared with the P genus piranhas, the species of piranhas in S genus are much more numerous, and there are at least 20 species of common piranhas in S genus, namely: 1, red diamonds; 2, Indian warriors; 3, pepper; 4, flower spots; 5, Abian; 6, golden Brandi; 7, Catalina; 8, yellow diamonds; 9, Alan; 10, black striped red hooks; 11, high back; 12, Singu; 13, tiger stripes; 14, silver; 15, fire throat; 16, black beans; 17, yellow cheeks; 18, Makinati; 19, Black spots and red cheeks; 20, red cheeks.
Limited by the space, if I detail all the species of piranhas in one article, it is estimated that it will be at least more than 20,000 words, so that everyone will not be too comfortable to watch. So from tomorrow onwards, I will introduce a piranha in detail every day, and it will take about a month to introduce all the piranha species.
