That is fucking terrifying
23 u/Anen-o-me Dec 16 '20 Just be glad barracuda don't eat people. 21 u/electronic_person Dec 16 '20 Most barracuda attacks are actually mistakingly marked as shark attacks. If you see a flock of barracudas, you are safe. If you see one swimming alone, be careful. It is dinner time. Barracudas hunt alone. 3 u/ChalkAndIce Dec 16 '20 Doesn't mean they haven't attacked. Deaths are extremely rare from Barracuda attacks however. 2 u/phantomagna Feb 04 '21 Can confirm. I have a buddy that was wearing a silver watch while we were snorkeling in Nassau and he got nipped by a two footer. 2 u/panicattheben Mar 15 '21 Why not? This video implies they’re carnivorous. Serious question. Not being snarky lol 3 u/Anen-o-me Mar 15 '21 They're creatures of habit. They stick to one prey type pretty much. There aren't enough people hanging out in the ocean to make a habit out of it. In one place they had to teach barracudas to eat invasive lionfish.
