Are carp dangerous?

There are a lot of carp and many other large fish swimming around our lake. Even turtles… One even wandered into my garden because my garden is right in front of the lake. We also have a jetty with stairs leading down to the lake in our garden, and lots of them get lost there. I've carried many back to the lake.

There have been a lot of carp swimming around recently. Are they dangerous? Do they bite, or do they swim away when you get close?

Carp is not dangerous. You don’t even have proper teeth. They have solid lips with which they can bite soft things. Chewing them with so-called wound teeth while swallowing them.

Turtles can be much more unpleasant, depending on the type. Whoever goes on a snap turtle will be pulled back. They also do not actively hunt people.

When a water turtle goes on land, she does that to sunbathe. Turtles are alternating and have to warm up in the sun. You should just leave her alone. You’ll find yourself in the water.

A cat will not be able to dress against a turtle. But the turtle can become dangerous and if it defends itself, it can also get a bloody nose.

You can try out how they react to the turtles. To do this, you must observe the dogs inconspicuously so that they feel as unobserved as possible.

Carp do nix… even bigger predators don’t see you as prey. Unless there are sharks there. The bite 🤤

No, they don’t do anything, while swimming in the lake themselves are afraid of fishing 😂 but I know the fear is unfounded!

Piranhas feed on the majority of other fish, and they are ass eaters. And they are very careful and endanger themselves as little as possible in hunting. That’s why it rarely happens that they pick up a big warm-blooded animal while he still gives life signs of himself.

Piranhas are almost ubiquitous in the Amazon basin in rivers and larger streams. People wash their laundry and themselves in the river, the children bathe extensively. There are thousands of encounters every day. Nevertheless, there are almost no attacks on people.

It looks completely different. Piranhas are popular fishing for tourists and other fishing catchers. This is fishing with a success guarantee because they are everywhere and bite directly on every fleshy bait of matching size. And they are suitable as food fish.

In other words, Piranhas are almost harmless for people, but people are dangerous for Piranhas.

Carp is as harmless to humans as all turtles. ; If you have suspicious carp, it’s even fun to swim with them in the water. ^^

Sure bite them. However, this does not bring much without teeth.

If you don’t wear swimwear, then yes.

Not carp is dangerous to humans, but vice versa. Especially for Christmas…
