RE: The not so Itsy-Bitsy Spider Beside the Water Spout

So you can still swim in the rivers with the Piranhas??? Really?

I've got nothing against sharks, except for the millions of razor sharp teeth and swimming speed....but I don't want to kill them so so many people do..so I like to stay away from them as much as possible thanks, I'm certainly not the Shark Whisperer like this Aussie lady was/is https://www.wildbear.tv/work/playing-with-sharks-the-valerie-taylor-story/

Sort:  

Hahahaa I'll also stay away from anything that bites. I was even bitten once by a cute bunny you know 😅🤣🤣. I was feeding it and then I had nothing left and it bit me. Also very sharp teeth. Although, if I were in a divers suit in a cage, MAYBE.... I would "swim" with the shark. But it won't be happening tomorrow though hahahaa

So you can still swim in the rivers with the Piranhas??? Really?

Yes, almost all of our rivers have piranhas and some swimming locations are in those rivers. What those businesses then do is put nets in the water, so that the swimmers are "safe". Of course, number 1 rule is to not eat or drink near the water.

Ok well I don't like to be bitten by anything, not even cute bunnies cause I have seen them get very angry before- that's when they start thumping their back feet and will certainly never EVER go anywhere near a shark, not even in a cage thank you...😬 I may be a bit loopy but I'm not that cra cra...

Ok, so you can swim in the nets where the piranhas are, but not eat of drink near them...??

Why are they like mcdonalds hamburglar...🤔

Hahahaa yeah come to think of it, it doesn't make sense. I even used to swim in the same river9s) without nets holding those piranhas away and I didn't think much of it. Now's a different story though.

Yeah and isn't there something not so good about miniscule insects/bacteria that can swim up your stream into you hoohaa and put you in a world of pain...🤔😱

The insect/bacteria I haven't experienced though.... and also haven't heard of stories of that happening...
I do know that there's some type of fish in the Amazon that does swim into those "tubes" and have seen documentaries about it in Brazil. Suriname is part of the Amazon though, but haven't heard any stories about that type of fish in our waters. I should ask my friends who work in the jungle.

Yes please and oooooh you have friends that work in the jungles???

What do they do and can I come too?

So one or two studied Geology who work for an NGO. They regularly go to the deep jungles and sometimes their (food) ration ran out, so they had to eat fish and meat from the region.

So, I know some who went with them to the villages in the South and who I think volunteered on some projects. I think one has to ask and make a good case about the "why?" Although, I think they might have restricted the flow of humans in the region because of the Rona measures ☹️.
