keep your monkeys indoors

Wednesday, August 10. 2005

Neil sent me this article about a monkey-eating Amazonian fish found last week in a lake in Pennsylvania.

A monkey-eating Amazonian fish was caught with a piece of hot dog by a 14-year-old camper on the banks of the Adventureland lake in Bensalem last week.

[The fish] can grow up to 5 to 6 feet and jump that high to catch prey...they eat spiders, insects, small birds and even small young monkeys that wander too close to the water.

The fact that this fish eats monkeys is scarey enough, but the fish grows 5 to 6 feet long?! This isn't a fish you are winning at the school fair and going home with in a clear plastic bag with water.
