The candiru (Vandellia cirrhosa), a tiny parasitic catfish native to the Amazon River, is infamous for allegedly swimming into the urethras of people urinating in the water. At just a few centimeters long, it typically parasitizes larger fish by locating their gill excretions. The myth claims the candiru mistakes urine streams for these excretions, entering the urethra, where it lodges itself with backward-facing spines, making removal painful and difficult.

Esse é o verdadeiro CANDIRU! Vandellia cirrhosa O candiru é um bagre hematófago, especializado em parasitar brânquias de peixes maiores, onde morde uma artéria e se enche de sangue. Depois de saciado, ele se solta e se enterra, até a fome bater novamente. Mas de vez em quando, em ocasiões muito raras, ele pode se enganar e entrar em orifícios inadequados, como uretras de banhistas desavisados. Existe pelo menos um caso compravado de um candiru extraído cirurgicamente da uretra de um homem em Man

El candirú (Vandellia cirrhosa) es un pez de agua dulce que habita en los ríos del Amazonas.

Estudios han demostrado que este pez detecta a sus presas por la vista, no po

Horrors on Instagram: "Locals describe the candiru as a stealth predator, drawn to movement and body fluids in the water. When it finds a host — usually another fish — it slips beneath the gill covers, locks its sharp spines into place, and feeds on blood. The process is quick, and once attached, the fish anchors itself so firmly that removal often causes more damage than the bite itself. Its terrifying reputation among humans comes from rare accounts claiming it can enter the body through expos

When someone urinates in the water, the candiru fish swims into and lodges itself in the urethra of the unsuspecting individual. Once inside, the fish uses the spines on its gill covers to hold itself in place, which is painful and makes removal possible only with surgery.
