The fish has a champion hit

If compared to body size, black piranhas have the most respectable bats, eating out giants in history such as tyrants and giant sharks.

The oversized jaw muscle allowed black piranhas, Serrasalmus rhombeus, to perform beats that were 30 times more powerful than its body weight, according to a report on the Scientific Reports report.

Other animals, such as white sharks, hyenas and crocodiles, can be stronger, but their strength is not as impressive as that of black piranhas in terms of overall size and body weight.

In fact, compared to the size of the jaws, piranhas are also placed on prehistoric monsters like tyrants.

To draw this conclusion, the experts arrested 15 black piranhas, the largest of the notorious carnivores in South America, at the Amazon River of Barzil, and proceeded to calculate their jaws.

This piranha, which is only 20 to 37cm long, is always ready to deliver continuous and quick flashes. They can chew the knuckle bones in people in an instant.

The biting force of the black piranha is measured at about 320 newtons (a newton is the force resulting from the weight of a body of about 102 grams - PV), nearly three times the force generated by the American crocodile. This is because the complex jaw of the fish species accounts for 2% of its total body weight.

However, even piranha had to give in to an extinct "senior" who lived in the Middle Ages, ending about 5 million years ago. About 70cm long and weighs about 10kg, Megapiranha paranensis is believed to have a force of 1,240 to 4,749 newtons.
