A school of carnivorous fish has injured at least 10 people bathing in the Paranha River in Rosario, Argentina in the past two days, reports news.com.au.
Seventy people who were cooling off from high temperatures were also injured in late December by the same piranha-like fish.
According to experts, unusually high temperatures during the Austral summer and lower numbers of species such as caiman that preyed on the fish could be causing the attacks.
The latest attack by the "palometas" was confirmed on Saturday.
They've been described by the local director of lifeguards as "a type of piranha, big, voracious and with sharp teeth that can really bite."
