I've been to both the Tavern and the Croc park there in Broome and all I can say is he's a lucky fella to escape both with his life.

He might, but I reckon he'd put the bite on you for a loan if you win.

Somehow reminds me of Monthy Python's classic "Tiger!"

Lovely. I already imagine a future headline in the Berliner Morgenpost: "Bathing women ripped to pieces by white shark in the Wannsee". Or "Mating season of Anacondas closed five open air baths in northern Germany". Or "Sewage disposal plants get special filters to prevent piranhas entering the public drinking water pipelines."

I thought I was soooo funnyyyh - but more and more the grim truth in Germany gets revealed:

http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/2010/07...anenteich.html

A tabloid, okay, but nevertheless. Piranhas found in a lake in the North-Eastern city of Rostock at the Baltic coast. Ironically, the lake is named Swan Lake.

One wonders: for how long anymore?

Piranhas are swarm fishes, and where there is one, there must be more.

P.S. I swam repeatedly in the nearby Dortmund-Ems-Kanal in the past three weeks. I know by own experince that the water is not refreshing anymore , but is really damn hot.

since last month has been found to be the warmest June sijnce the beginning of weather recordings, I can imagine well that a swarm of piranhas can live very well in German lakes and rivers currently. Maybe they will leave again when it gets too warm for them.

More terror for unsuspecting tourists! This time it is a free walking puma or lion near a lake in Pommern:

Germany goes wild! The brother of a friend of mine meanwhile caught up Malaria two weeks ago - while staying in central Bavaria. Probably a misled Mosquito.

Oh, and I got bitten by some fish last week while I was swimming. Two 1 cm-wide, crescentic shallow wounds on my right archilles heel - no joke - , upper and lower teeth row obviously, not deep, nothing serious, but you can see the small punctures from the small teeth, and when it bit while I was swimming, it stung much more than just a wasp or a bee. I wonder what it was.

I've heard that free walking puma is really tasty.

No wait, that's free range chicken.
