Wednesday, February 27, 2008
Snakehead fish, a carnivorous fish tagged as the world’s most evil fish because it eats almost everything in it's path, is now is Britain. It was originally can be found only in Southeast Asia.
News that a 2ft specimen had been hooked in an English river caused widespread panic among anglers and conservationists. An Environment Agency source said last night: "The reaction was, ‘Oh s***’. This is the ultimate invasive species — if it starts breeding here it’s a disaster." Angler Andy Alder caught the snakehead while using a sprat as bait for pike on the River Witham near North Hykeham, Lincs. Andy, of Lincoln, said: "It had a gob full of razor-sharp teeth. To be honest it looked terrifying."Link via environmentalgraffiti
