Scaly body thrashes ... Razor teeth rip ... Meet the piranha! Brimming
with vivid photos and scientific facts, Piranhas treats middle-grade
researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of this
fearsome freshwater fish. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy,
diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts
and the animal's relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars,
a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a piranha tale
from Brazil adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
