BURNABY, B.C. — Biologists have reeled in an invasive predator fish that had been lurking in a pond in a park in Burnaby, B.C.
Crews had to lower the water level of the lagoon in Central Park in order to nab the snakehead, a torpedo-shaped fish with a toothy jaw that can snap up mammals two-thirds its size.
Conservation officers say the fish measured about two-thirds of a metre long and put up quite a fight before being caught and killed.
