Watch out for the boys in Illinois!


And when I say "the boys", I mean The Boys.

I had two of those Pacu in my fishtank. They were the size of dimes when I bought em. They were as big as dinner plates when I got rid em. The two of em would demolish a head of lettuce in a few seconds. They are cousins to piranha... :evil:

Some show on Animal Planet had guys looking for piranhas in a northern state based on fisherman reports. I'll bet it was those nut busters that were being caught. If those things eat zebra mussells they are going to do well!

More than a few "warm water outlets" (read nuclear power plants) make it "entirely possible". Who would have thought the industrial north could be so exotic.

And apparently - thanks to conservation efforts allowing the seal populations of Cape Cod to flourish ... you're now getting regular visits by rather large Great White Sharks.
