Can a fish really swim up your penis? Jeremy Wade, presenter of River Monsters and host of 'Fish On! with Jeremy Wade' answers your questions from the Honesty Box.
In this episode of Honesty Box on LADbible Stories, Jeremy Wade reveals the truth behind some of the world's most feared freshwater creatures. He names his ultimate apex river monster, explains how an electric eel could kill you, and says whether piranhas really can strip a human to the bone. He also tells the story of sitting in a pool with more than 100 of them for a Bond-style TV stunt.
Jeremy talks about using himself as human bait while catfish noodling in Oklahoma, spending six years trying to catch a Goliath tigerfish in the Congo, and the arapaima that leapt out of a net and left him bruised for six weeks. He explains the candiru, the tiny Amazonian fish that really can swim up the urine stream, and how he met both a man it happened to and the doctor who removed it. He also covers whether fish can swallow a human whole, whether he'd rather share the water with a croc or a shark, and the freshwater animal he thinks is the most dangerous of all.
He also opens up about the rare oarfish encounter that photobombed his piece to camera, the changes to rivers caused by climate change that local fishermen are reporting, the extinction of the Chinese paddlefish, and what it means to him that so many people grew up watching River Monsters.
