Unknown herbivorous pyranha

On the border between Guyana and Suriam, French researchers from the Institute for Development Research have discovered two species of herbivorous piranhas unknown so far: Tometes lebaili and Tometes makue.

Although seemingly different, it distinguishes between the number of teeth and the shape of the mouth and T. trilobatus. Two new large species have been detected not only in the deep waters of the Amazon Shoe, but also in the Guyana Shoe. To date there were a total of 30 species of piranha identified.
