15 Deadliest River Monsters Of The Amazon 

The goonch isn't actually from the Amazon. Their home is in the large rivers of India.

The fact that this video got as many views as it did is amazing. The spreading of misinformation you presented in this video is astounding.

The gnocch isn't native to or found in the Amazon. Its native to the northern rivers of the Indian subcontinent. Also it doesn't take on crocodiles as no crocodiles live in the rivers that far north.

They're really misusing the term "deadly" here. Only 6 or 7 of these creatures are actually really dangerous to humans.

Title: Deadliest animal Shows footage of human playing with them

You’ll fish all your life in the Amazon and never catch a Goonch. They live in India. And all those Wells Catfish you showed don’t live there either. Yeesh

Most of the footage they showed of the goonch was actually footage of wells catfish 🤣

Jeremy wade is legendary he's caught a lot of these he's in almost every clip

*I* *pray* *anyone* *that* *sees* *this* *is* *successful* *in* *life* 💰,

Got less than a minute into this video talking about the Goonch and showing so many clips of wells catfish. Can’t get it right or identify species correctly don’t do it. Also the Goonch is from India.

Starting my 2021 with this video🥰

Years ago, I've had a colleague whose husband almost got his leg amputated due to a flesh eating bacteria, which he recounts he might have gotten when they went to Amazon River. He's a seafarer and was sent back to our country for proper treatment. Didn't know all the details but I've seen his leg when he was hospitalized, it's as if you can see an anatomical model of the leg's muscles, tissues and bone. So terrible. But he's recovered and well now. ❤️

I was on the Amazon twice in 2008. First in the broad Lower Amazon using motor powered dingies several times a day. The power of the River and its drug ridden local inhabitants seemed more threatening than most of the wildlife. But the second foray into the Upper Amazon above Iquitos with daily and nightly excursions by paddle driven dugout canoes was astounding. Floating 2 or 3 inches above the water line and approached by most of the predators show here for a week was an unbelievable experience. We were accompanied by very informative naturalists and in each canoe had an experienced guide and a canoe handler for a total of 6 or 7 people. We went quite far north and spent most of the trip in Peruvian waters. At night we enjoyed gourmet meals on a cabin cruiser that accommodated 20 including the small crew. It was an adventure not to be forgotten. We even made it into a small village on a tiny tributary whose inhabitants had not before been visited by Europeans. There were not many firsts still possible to eco travelers in the 21st century, but this was cutting edge at the time. We were a long way from help if there we had an emergency. This last adventure fulfilled my lifelong travel dream, stoked by slides of a family friend in 1955 who had taken the mail boat up and down between Iquitos an Belem. Then we’re screened in the living room for 3 hours when I was 12 years old. I would not have imagined the adventure to be possible otherwise. Now approaching 80, I am grateful to have seen much of the world in a shoestring budget. The Amazon trips were gifts for which I am eternally grateful.

This Video MAKES me wanna go to the Amazon River more. (Happy New Year! This Vid made my Day.)

Back in 2009 my son and I took my bay boat out on the Mississippi river for 3 months. When we were in St. Louis we started fishing and because of how large some of the alligator gar and catfish are, we had steel leaders. That way they couldnt just snap the line. Something hit my bait so hard and fast, I almost lost my rod and reel. Luckily the real handle got caught and stopped it from going swimming. After an hour and a half we were able to see it. I was thinking a huge catfish and my son was thinking alligator gar. Neither one of us was right. This was a 5 and a half foot long Bull Shark. After we got it into the boat to take some pictures, a game warden comes over to ask us for our fishing licenses and to see what in the blue world we landed. I didnt have a scale but the Game Warden did. This shark was 321pds. Talk about freaking me out. I know that they live in rivers but I wouldnt have ever thought this far in.

Truly amazing and shocking video 🎣👍🎣👍🎣

...I think all the dudes watching this video knew what number one was going to be when they clicked on it.

Big fish huh y'all. Hope everyone has a great new year! Thank you Amerikano!!!!!

Great video! This is my first time seeing your videos. I subbed snd liked tho 🤙

Wow nice amazing fishes.

If it swims, Jeremey Wade (of River Monsters) has caught it. Well done Jeremey.

Piranhas are actually not as fearsome as people think, they most of the time hunt fish and some mammals, but it is uncommon for them to attack people and this behavior could only be because they are starving, which is rare.

Tbh who has been a fan for a long time

Quite enthusiastic and motivating the way he talks so full of energy 😂😂

Fun fact, a Pacu fish can bite off your finger.

Imagine being in the Amazon and get attacked by an electric eel and stay there, unable to move. Must be a really *shocking* experience

Am I the only one who actually enjoys these type of videos ??

"Fun Fact": You Can't Breathe while smiling. Joking,Just Wanted To Make You Smile:)))♥️♥️

Pacu fish were probably here before us so humans have “ Pacu like teeth” (idc if i spelled it wrong)

Imagine if the Amazon and Australia fused certain animals

WHOOO WHOOO WHOOO WHEEE CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL Y'ALL ON THEM GIGANTIC FISHES

Love your show

I have aquaphobia.... this is making me get goosebumps..

I would fear the can-do-roo....which is why never been to the Amazon and don't intend to .

thanks and happy new year

1:30 in and already seeing clips of wels catfish being mixed up with the goonch 🤦‍♂️

The goonch catfish lives in India not South America

Wow. Amazing 👍👍👍

Iam very interesting all about your video, specialy many big monster fish

This video is really, really stretching the meaning of 'deadly'...

That freeze frame of the “goonch” cat fish looks like a blue fin tuna 😂

I wasn't watching at first, only listening. The "Giant Daughter" sounded ferocious. :D

There’s a private naturally heated pond near my house that someone released a paku in and I’ve skinny dipping in it

His jokes on that electric eel are underrated😂

The Goonch catfish is not found in the Amazon it is found in India and other parts of Southeast Asia

Ur Humor earned you a new sub

I play your videos so I can sleep easily. I mean, your voice is sooooooo calm and

The entire first goonch segment had almost nothing true in it at all.

I just noticed otters look like freaking seals!! It's probably the seals ancient relative.

The electric eel is never charged for its crime... lol pretty good!

Jeremy and Cyril my favorite anglers to watch

Goonch is in the ganjis river in india, most of the fish he was showing was wels catfish.

there's more than one type of electric fish.

Couldn’t get one minute into this. The very first fish you called a goonch, but what you showed was a Wells catfish, which is not found in the Amazon. And by the way, neither is the goonch. If that’s your lead story, I figured it goes down hill pretty quick after that.

- Great video

Is it mad that I own 4 of the fish mentioned on here piraiba, arapaima, redtail catfish, pacu and 1 extra. The alligator gar 🤣🤣🤣

almost as if river monsters covers all of this in a far more interesting and entertaining way

Hi bro i like your vids

Happy new year

There are now at least 3 known species of electric eel. The third and most recently discovered is found in the southern regions and is capable of producing 800 volts where the second was found to produce only 600 volts max and the first known species can produce only 250 volts if i remember correctly...

There are three types of electric eels! One of the species as such a high voltage it will kill you! Animal planet is very educational!

The freshwater stingray can also get so large that if you step on it by accident and its stinger gets stuck in you it can drag you under the water

giant river otters have been known to use rocks to beat their prey to death when taking on prey larger than themselves the same way they attack crustaceans

The Candiru is hardly deadly to humans. However, it is the very reason that I never peed in or near the river, as they can navigate the 'stream'.

Stingrays don't "attack". They will only defend themselves if stepped on or harassed. You make it sound like they are going to just find someone and attack them for no reason.

Watching from philipines

They recently discovered 2 more species of electric eels in total 3. the electric eel (Electrophorus electricus), Vari's electric eel (E. varii), and Volta's electric eel (E. voltai)

The red bellied piranha really isn’t that dangerous to humans, most stories you hear of them happened after the person was already dead. It makes me so mad when people talk about how scary and dangerous they are for some reason

Goonch catfish is only found in Indian sub continent and some parts of Asia..But definitely Not in Amazon!!

incredible

Actually the goonch is not from Amazon it’s from india

me; living in guyana that is found in south america not knowing about river sting rays and also not being scared of them

10:47 the electric eel isn't the only electric fish in the world. there's also an electric ray and an electric catfish. if you don't believe me look it up.

Good one

Gooch cat fish is a south Asian cat fish not Amazon

Since Everyone Is FIRST Im Second

Ha, seen such an arapaima in Surinam in 1981. Dead on a small creek bank. The fish was missing a large part of its body. The head was arapaima. You start thinking, what on earth can take such a bite from so large a fish? I think we just missed a jaguar. Nice jungle trail weekend.

Good video🤙🤙

Ok but where is the Goliath tiger fish that will literally eat crocs, anaconda , giant cat fish.......and well let's just say if their teeth can peirce it..... they eat it.

This guy pretty much watched a few episodes a River Monsters™ with Jeremy wade and thinks he knows everything🤣🙏🏻👍🏻

Hell,u forgot the "creature of the black lagoon " n he was on svengoulie last night!!

I like how this whole video is based on how terrifying these animals are but there are millions of people who keep them all as pets 🤣

Piraba can eat a person whole!

I dont know how rare it is for the giant otters to take down cayman but there sure are alot of different vids showing it!!

I knew you couldn't forgo the Goonch Stole Christmas joke....lol

I quit watching the River Monsters show when host Jeremy Wade tried like hell to convince viewers the Russian taimen species of fish was a deadly predator instead of a wild salmon.

HEY HI IM BIG FAN PlS SHOUT ME OUT! HAPPY NEW YEAR

Welcome 2021 😇💪

Tons of fun and hell just waiting to be found.

Me being scared of the open sea: The Amazon: sharks, snakes, electric eel`s, stingray, piranha

Top 10 episodes of River Monsters, #3 will surprise you! "Honey, would you still love me if I was a worm?"

1.The Goonch doesn't live in the Amazon. It lives in India. 2. Vampire fish don't attack humans and only target small prey fish. Many other fish kill others in captivity 3. Otters pose no risk to humans 4. He actually managed to be correct for the Bull Shark. 5. Stingray tails do not rip through flesh, they do slice it up bad. Also Stingrays are very timid and will not seek out humans. 6. It's a slightly larger leech, get real. 7: Red Bellied Pirahnas are typically timid and only pose a risk during extreme starvation. 8. Paku are slow, fruit eaters very timid, slow and have only been reported attacking balls in New Zealand, somewhere they are invasive. 9. Electric Eels are not the only electric fish, also even though eels are very powerful they are timid. 10. Someone managed to be correct about the Caiman. 11. He was mostly correct about Paraiba. 12. He is mostly correct, but why bring up a fish that is only defensive against humans? 13. The Aropaima is far from the most deadly fish and he somehow neglects the fact that these fish love to jump from the water and that a headbutt or tailslap could easily break ribs or knock someone out. 14. He got this mostly correct thankfully. 15. He is correct about the Candiru, however it is not a predeator

The narrator was mistaken when saying that the electric eel is the only species of electric fish in the world. There are others, like the Torpedo or the Stargazer for example.

Well I won't be booking any vacation time,😮 at the Amazon river in this lifetime 😁

nice amazing monster i thinks

I would never step foot 👣 into the Amazon River

Why you put some Wels Catfish pictures instead of "goonch" ones?

Probably all of them they look fear. But anyways I like the Electric Eel gonna buy some of them to make my pet. Hahaha

Giant sea otters also eat wild cats , there’s a crazy video of it here on RU-vid !
