BBC News reports:
A school of carnivorous fish related to the piranha has attacked bathers in an Argentine river, injuring about 70.
Thousands of bathers were cooling off in the Parana River in Rosario, 300km (186 miles) north of Buenos Aires, on Christmas Day when the attack happened.
Officials blamed the attack on the palometa fish, describing the event as "exceptional".
Paramedics said dozens of people had their extremities attacked and some had lost digits.
