49. Piranha and Vampire Bats

Weird Animal Facts: Explicit

TEETH! Fangs! Dracula! Blood! Ferocious aquatic murderers!
Both piranhas and vampire bats have become innocent victims to the horrible rumors that have been set upon them by old white men of the past.
For the month of Halloween we look at the traditional Halloween and spooky animals that have been dubbed blood thirsty, flesh eating, viscous monsters! I mean, yes piranhas do eat meat, but not just meat, they're omnivores (mostly)! And as for vampire bats...well....that one is harder as they do only drink blood....that's it....only blood. But by listening to this special Halloween episode you will learn that there really isn't a reason to fear these wonderfully weird animals who are actually very good at sharing. And only found in Central and South America.
