Snakehead: A bioterminator from the east. The Americans accidentally released it into their rivers in 2013, giving rise to an eco-disaster

How many times have people been told: well, don’t touch the animals, let them live where they were born. But no, we’re taking rabbits to Australia, and rats and cats to the islands. Okay, it was a long time ago, people then did not really understand the environment, you can forgive, but what kind of genius guessed to drag a snakehead to the United States in 2013?

So that you will understand the whole salt of the shoal of people, I will start from afar. In the Far East, somewhere between the Amur and the Yangtze, there lives a fish called snakehead. The elongated body of a meter long and wide flat muzzle make our hero look like a snake. The picture is spoiled by only 10 kilos of weight and long fins: the dorsal blade is generally stretched out for 2/3 of the body length. The fish snake, like any predator, is engaged in regulating the number of local small animals, preventing them from destroying the natural balance of rivers and lakes.
