Extreme angler Jeremy Wade goes to extraordinary lengths in his mission to find out whether the piranha of the Amazon basin is truly the river monster of nightmares. In Brazil, he swims with them, inciting the piranhas into a feeding frenzy, and also tracks down survivors and eyewitnesses of piranha attacks. In one incident from 1976, 39 people died when a coach crashed into the river and some bodies were so badly mutilated they could only be identified by their clothes.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for River Monsters. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
Piranha is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 8 out of 78, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 45m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
