This is a walk-around of the 2014 Safari Ltd Incredible Creatures piranha, Pygocentrus sp. Total length (TL, i.e., including caudal fin) is 120 mm and standard length (SL, i.e., without caudal fin) is 107 mm. The figure shows characteristic traits of both the red piranha, Pygocentrus nattereri Kner, 1858 and San Francisco piranha, Pygocentrus piraya (Cuvier, 1819), e.g., the reddish eyes are more typical for P. nattereri while the soft rays in the adipose fin would suggest P. piraya instead. Only P. piraya has been evaluated by the IUCN, and it’s currently classified as Least Concern. Anyway, since the figure’s silhouette is not circular it was probably built after an individual that was not yet fully mature. So, the scale may be around 1:2 as Safari Ltd. wrote even though mature individuals of both species can get considerably larger.
