FEW would even dare swim the Amazon river bank to bank but Slovenian Martin Strel plans to swim 5430km down the world's greatest river, defying piranhas, snakes, crocodiles and even sharks.
Buckets of animal blood will be loaded onto support boats to distract flesh-eating fish and reptiles during the 52-year-old's 70-day odyssey - which would break his own world length record for a swim.
Mr Strel starts on February 1 in Peru's jungle town of Atalaya and hopes to finish on Brazil's Atlantic coast on April 11.
