@fifa405 Well idk about the tuna part BUT they are taking over. That part is true.

@fifa405 Aren't tuna freshwater fish?

Because snakehead are saltwater.

Plus a tuna is HUGE. Doubt a snakehead would mess with it, especially if they swim away when kids get in the water...

@psychoninja911 Their killing all indeginous fish like tunas and taking over >_>

This is sad. Why is everyone cheering the heron on? Snakehead fish are freakin amazing.

@a92123 that is a night heron. Not a duck. Note the long beak, the pointed nape, and the legs.

that bird just doubled it's body weight, no wonder it didn't fly away after it was finished
