We have (alligator) Gar fish in our waters here. Not pretty and people won't eat 'em either. So nasty!

Erm, almost all fish have teeth, it's just they're often too small to see.

That Pacu's teeth are smooth and rounded, not like a Pirahna's. Sharp and pointy.
I've seen a gar on the Texas/Louisiana border once. Nasty.

Americans are embodiments of fear looking for direction. Piranhas are absolutely harmless, unless there is a massive concentration of them confined to a very tiny pool like sardines in a can. The famous cow movie was staged, and nothing like that has ever occurred in nature.
I've swum in the same waters where I caught and ate Piranhas, which are extremely common fish. There is absolutely no danger if there are a few in a lake.

Walleye have teeth you don't want to mess with bare handed. I found out by catching one and grabbing it through the mouth as I would have a bass. Oops! Fish with teeth, a self-correcting error.

Pickerel, pike and muskellunge have very sharp chompers. Just ask any fisherman that has ever tried to remove a hook with bare hands. They love to flip their tail as soon as you get your fingers near their mouth. Their teeth are as sharp as razors and can easily make you an unwilling blood donor.
