"Garbage machine of the pond"

The snakehead fish is a dangerous fish that ended up in a pond in Maryland. This fish is considered a predator for the large amounts of food it can devour. If it were large enough, it could even eat a human!

Description

Usually snakehead fish have a brown to greenish color. They have several diagonal bands that are dark and form angles or rectangular spots that are often accompanied by rows of spots that appear to be mother of pearl in color. In most cases, the dorsal and anal fins seem to be red. A snakehead fish can grow up to 33 inches long.

The adult snakehead fish preys on other fish, frogs, aquatic birds, and small mammals. Juveniles prey on earthworms, water bugs, tadpoles, dragonfly larvae, and other similar organisms.
