Kal is 8 and loves to learn & share facts about animals. He dictates his posts for his mom & dad so that it's all written in his own voice. Mom & Dad do not do any fact-checking, but Kal seems to have an uncanny memory for all things animal-related. He hopes that one day his blog will be as famous as National Geographic.

Candiru
You may know the legend of the piranha which is, "I can chop you to the bones in 10 seconds." Well that really isn't true. And we humans can eat them. On the plus side, piranhas will only eat the animals that have died. But the candiru lives deeper and is far more vicious. Could it be true that these are the true monsters of the deep? Oh and this is not the ocean. We are talking about the humongous Amazon River. And these candiru have been captured only once on film. The first time that it was filmed it was not by divers. It was actually filmed by an ROV.
