Piranhas, native to South American waterways, are a species of freshwater fish that can either be carnivorous, omnivorous or even vegetarian. Your wounds will heal in time,' a fourth joked. Normally they only use their nails for clawing up eucalyptus trees but may have thought you were a passing log. 'They look like scratch marks from the koalas that often swim there on warm nights. Incredibly lucky to survive,' a third wrote.
'100 per cent that's the Loch Ness monster's trademark bite. You're lucky to be alive,' another user joked. 'It's common knowledge, in these parts, that piranha emerge from the depths of the sea, at night.
Please tell all the people to stop coming here and avoid the beaches as they love tourists,' one user joked. However plenty were in on the joke, laughing along with Ms Volker-Lin. Lila Volker-Lim posted a photo (pictured) to the Facebook group, Byron Bay Community Board, of a scratch on her wrist that she joked was from piranhas Suffolk Dog Beach Thank god I left,' a third, exasperated former local added. 'For the love of god, nothing will save Byron now. 'If you think a freshwater fish like is actually living the Australia, please do not visit the NT because there are actually things up there scarier than Native American fish,' a second wrote. 'You are not seriously thinking you were attacked by piranhas in Byron?' one user wrote, who was clearly not in on the joke. However, none of her posts reached the level of exposure her piranha warning garnered. Ms Volker-Lin has been part of the Facebook group since 2019 and regularly posts about community fundraisers and lost property over the years. However, the post wasn't as it seemed, with Ms Volker-Lin revealing in a tongue-in-cheek comment to Daily Mail Australia that she had 'never touched the drug 'methamphetamine".' The post quickly garnered hundreds of comments, with a number of armchair experts taking the time to explain to Ms Volker-Lin why there was no way the attack could've been done by a piranha, a fish that is native to South America. A local has riled up a community at one of Australia's most popular destinations after claiming she and a friend were attacked by piranhas while swimming at a saltwater beach (pictured, stock)
