What kinds of sea animals eat human flesh?

Question

other than sharks and parrannas?

say if you drown at a beach in NY, and your body is carried out and floats back to the shore a week later, are there any types of fish or animals that swim in the water that would eat you or pieces of you.. no sharks though because there really aren't any sharks in NY waters (well none that i've heard of...)

Answer 1

Just about All fish and crustaceans will feed on decomposing corpses

shark,Orcas,piranhas  ,and barracudas may actually attack humans to kill and eat

In Mexico,in the Jungle ,after a days work ,scratched and dirty i would lie in the river ,and the little fish come and eat you clean

cleaning the blood and the scabs ,

but if you DON`T move

And you do ,(believe me) ,when they suck a bit hard on your flesh or wound ,

they would eat you alive

just normal cute little fish

Answer 2

most animals will eat human flesh

Answer 3

Why would pirhannas be eating you in New York? Other than? That is species is found in fresh water and usually near the equator. I don't think I would fear them to much if i lived in New York. Oh and I could probably name the creatures that didn't eat human flesh before I could name the ones that did.

Answer 4

er piranah ?

Answer 5

Crabs

Answer 6

Who told you there were no sharks in NY waters? I think that the NY Conservationist (magazine) did a nice spread on the sharks of NY, a couple of decades back.

If your body didn't wash back to shore quickly, it might be almost completely consumed. Mackerel and eels are avid carrion feeders. Snails and crabs would help clean any bodies that reached the bottom.

Luckily, you would not have to worry about piranha. Not only are they freshwater and tropical, they are, with the possible exception of the black piranha, fish-eaters.
