Piranha upper jaw teeth closeup A very detailed view at the saw-like row of upper teeth of the red bellied piranha. Note that this is only one row, a second sits behind the frontal row. <br /> <br /> This photo is taken from a conserved specie, in case you were wondering. And yes, I always have a dead piranha in my house. It&#039;s proven to be handy, to scare kids, or to use as a macro test subject in this case.
