For men, swimming in Sweden just got real dangerous!!

If you swim, wear trunks! If you don't wear trunks, it could be a bit dangerous, so you have been warned!

The Pacu is said to eat nuts normally (no pun intended)...

That explains it all

"Local fishermen captured an 8-inch pacu — the first caught in Europe — sparking the warning for men to "keep your swimwear on."

Eight inches?! That's a not a Pacu. I used to be an aquarium hobbyist and would often see Pacus at my local aquarium supply store that were much, much larger.
(In my best "Crocodile" Dundee voice) Now that's a Pacu.


Though they sell them at aquarium stores (in NJ anyway) where they may only be a couple of inches in length, they are not constrained by aquariums size and can grow to mammoth proportions. Still, I'm surprised that they can survive the colder waters of Sweden.

Yeah, so can a dog that's taken in off the streets, according to another thread I've read.
