I couldn't get very good shots of the invasive Asian Snakehead fish because it would not stop moving! This fish was brought to North America from Asia as food but has escaped into the wild. It is voracious. This is from a 2004 Washington Post

The most frightening thing about the Asian Snakehead?
It can survive out of water, slithering from one lake to the next in its unstoppable march across this fair continent!!!!
