Frankenfish: terrorizing the people of B.C.
In Burnaby’s city’s Central Park, beneath the surface of a murky pond, the creature lurks. A northern snakehead, a voracious, predatory fish not native to these parts, nor welcome. Acting like it owns the place. Municipal and provincial authorities want it gone, lest it cause some real harm, but it’s a crafty, elusive beast. Ugly, too. It is fairly dubbed “the Frankenfish.” (Photo: Reuters)
Biologists investigating after possible ‘Frankenfish’ sighting in B.C. pond
Government biologists will inspect a Burnaby, B.C., pond for a suspected snakehead fish dubbed Frankenfish for its monstrous ability to decimate native species and slither onto dry land.
Matthias Herborg, an invasive species expert with the Environment Ministry, said Wednesday that a YouTube video supposedly taken from a pond at Central Park appears to show a snakehead.
