The Amazon basin in South America harbours an amazing biodiversity. The vicious piranha, freshwater dolphins and bull sharks make their home. Covering 7 million kilometer squares, this is the largest drainage basin in the world. It is also the second longest river after the Nile hence home to many species.
Dangerous creaters residing here is qiute extensive, however not all dangerous creatures are large in stature.The Cindiru.
This is a tiny, parasitic catfish that has a tendency to find its way into…undesirable places…in order to suck an organism’s blood. Sometimes, these organisms are humans.
The candiru are translucent and powerfully fast swimmers, which makes them difficult to spot in the rushing waters. In the wild, these fish like to attach themselves to the gills of larger fish (including much larger catfish, making them akin to cannibals). https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.CJrQfzpv8vTuU48Np1kL7wEsC7&pid=15.1&P=0&w=256&h=161https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.aWnm3KhJ-zj7HNySWFLcvgEsC1&pid=15.1&P=0&w=268&h=163
With a burst of energy, they propel their way into an opening, and once they are in this opening, they get themselves lodged into place through the sharp, backward-pointing spines by their head. These spines extend into the host, lodging the candiru firmly in place. From here, the fish happily feeds on the organism’s blood.
Native men along the river have long been known to tie strings around their penis to prevent such things from happening to them while going into the river. Other tribes have been observed wearing various forms of makeshift protection to cover their genital areas while bathing.
There are a number of historical accounts from naturalists and physicians in the 1800’s that detail the candiru entering the urethra and lodging itself into the vaginal canals of native woman. However, as is true of the tales involving men, these events cannot be verified and lack the standard notation required for credibility.
In addition to intense pain and possible medical complications, the bite of a Brazilian wandering spider can deliver a long, painful erection to human males.
