5 Deadly Freshwater Fish That Could Easily Hunt Humans But Never Do

Our world's rivers and lakes are full of many different weird and wonderful fish, but some freshwater ecosystems are more competitive than others.
There are many giant reptiles that most creatures will choose to avoid, and even some of the top land predators will try their hand at catching fish.
If you're a smaller fish it can be very difficult to survive in some of this planets largest rivers, but some of the world's largest fish have little to fear at all.

In today's video I'll be taking a look at some of the deadliest freshwater fish In the world, and I'll be trying to decipher why exactly they don't hunt humans.
