Deadly Paranha.

In chapter 4 - The River ( The Explorer),
Fred, Con, Lila and Max go on a search for water, after following ants they eventually find the river. They are brave enough to enter the water but they find Piranhas - fish with teeth! They are terrified and get out of the river as fast as they can.

Inspired by this Chapter we created factfiles researching and presenting information about these deadly creatures.
