5 TERRIFYING PREDATORS of the Amazon River Basin! Many thanks for watching! We hope you find this educational video to your liking! The 5 deadly animals are as follows... 5. GREEN ANACONDA The GREEN ANACONDA is the world's largest (heaviest) snake species in existence (and one of the world's most dangerous constrictive animals)... Fast movers in all depths of water, Anacondas will typically lie-in-wait, before striking with their powerful jaws and using their enormous muscular strength to suffocate their prey. 4. ELECTRIC EEL An apex predator, the ELECTRIC EEL can produce deadly high voltage charges... Transmitting up to 600 volts per charge (enough to knock a horse of its feet), Electric Eels are responsible for the stunning and subsequent drowning deaths of many in the Amazon River Basin. 3. RED-BELLIED PIRANHAS The infamous RED-BELLIED PIRANHA has a terrifying reputation -- not in the least due to its depiction in numerous Hollywood movies... With extremely powerful jaws and super sharp interlocking teeth, Red-Bellied Piranhas can be quite a handful -- certainly when hunting as a group. 2. PAYARA (VAMPIRE FISH) The PAYARA -- also known as the "vampire fish" -- is a large and ferocious predator that is known to feast on piranhas, among other things... Payara use their two 15 centimeter (6 inches) long "fangs" on their lower jaw to impale their prey. (They have special holes in their upper jaw so they don't impale themselves.) 1. BLACK CAIMAN Growing as large as 6 meters (20 feet), the beastly BLACK CAIMAN is truly king of the Amazon River Basin and one of the world's most dangerous animals... They are known to attack and eat virtually anything they can sink their teeth into -- including piranhas, payaras, anacondas and people.
