If you sea something, say something.

Fishermen are being instructed to kill an invasive, predatory fish with the potential to devastate local ecosystems.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is warning folks to be on the lookout for the northern snakehead, a marine animal indigenous to Asia that has been spotted in US waters.

As its name suggests, the snakehead, which grows up to 3 feet in length, can slither onto land and survive for days by breathing in air. It also features a python-like color pattern, differentiating it from the similar-looking native bowfin. 

“They’re aggressive predators, preying on native species, and competing...

Ridgeback Hammerhead Shark vs Great White Shark

I’ve got a bone to pick with Steven Spielberg. His 1975 blockbuster “Jaws” made sharks out to be crazed, maneating monsters, tapping into a near-universal fear of what lies beneath the vast ocean. With one film, Spielberg put so many people off swimming in open water forever, that it’s a wonder that anyone still does it.

The great white shark is the largest predatory fish on earth. It is responsible for the most reported and identified fatal, unprovoked attacks on humans. As a result, a great white shark specimen is the antagonist, if you may, of the famous movie Jaws. As apex predators, great white sharks have a varied diet and […]

Fishermen Rescue 38 Drowning Dogs With a Small Outboard Bass Boat

What started as a serene weekend fishing trip became a dramatic rescue operation for Bob Gist, 61, and his colleague, Brad Carlisle, both State Farm Insurance employees. They had hired Jordan Chrestman, a local bass fishing guide, to take them out on Granada Lake in Mississippi. After a quiet morning, they decided to switch fishing spots, which is when they heard the faint barking of dogs. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that a pack of 38 hunting dogs had chased a deer into the lake and were now struggling to stay afloat, unable to find their way back to shore. Gist, Carlisle, and Chrestman immediately shifted their focus from fishing to rescuing the distressed animals.

Great white sharks and orcas are both apex predators, which means they’re at the top of their respective food chains. Great whites are often thought of as the apex predator, but orcas aren’t called killer whales for nothing. The orca, in fact, is the only known predator of the great white shark.
