The species uses this extra gas as a source of energy when hunting, as its prey slows down due to the dynamics of the water. The animal also has a hydrodynamic body: its well-developed body structure allows the fish to swim more efficiently. Also, the caudal muscles guarantee fast starts, with speeds that can reach 30 km/h.

It usually hunts during the day, taking advantage of the light and the river flow to its advantage. It still uses more protected areas, behind large rocks, to rest. During the piracema season, it carries out long reproductive migrations, traveling 500 to 1,500 kilometers to spawn. In Argentina, the species is known as the "water tiger", in reference to the dark spots spread across its body, which resemble the fur of Asian tigers.
