1. Barracudas do not stick around to care for their young.
2. They are voracious predators and hunt using a classic example of lie-in-wait or ambush.
3. Large barracudas have been known to eat young barracudas.
4. Like sharks, barracudas have long had a bad reputation as being dangerous to humans.
5. Wearing jewelry and other shiny objects is discouraged as barracudas are quite attracted to things that glint and shine.

Make of it what you will - but I found these facts quite funny and the comparison struck me for some reason as 'interesting' if you know what I mean - lol
