Snake Fish Invades Britain

February 19, 2008 – 8:31 am

There is a bit of bad news for Britons, a fish deadlier than the piranha has been caught on British shores for the first time. The Snakefish eats just about anything and can live for up to four days on land.

The fish is even rumored to attack humans, especially when defending their ‘fry’ (offspring.)

Andy Alder, 24 of Lincoln caught the beast. “It had a gob full of razor-sharp teeth. To be honest it looked terrifying.”

Environmental agencies are concerned that the invasive fish might set up breeding grounds, which would put other fish and humans in danger.

Hopefully this a rare occurrence of someone dumping an illegal fish and not a case of infestation. They can grow to be 3 feet in length and weigh up to 44 pounds.
