It turns out to be a type of Snakehead Fish.

Many initially thought the fish was a python or commonly known as a python. It turns out that the animal is actually a freshwater fish. According to IFL Science, the fish found by the angler in the US is a type of snakehead fish, better known in Indonesia as ikan gabus.

"Acting Like a Reptile"

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: Ikan gabus is a species that is very invasive and aggressive. It has the ability to breathe in open air and walk like a reptile. For the ikan gabus found in Wappapello Lake Spillway in Wayne County, it is very different. It is a unique type of ikan gabus.

This is the fourth time that northern snakehead fish (Channa argus) has been found in the state, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC).

"Grow up to 1 Meter"

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Northern snakehead fish (Channa argus) is like the embodiment of a fierce freshwater predator. Its long body resembles a snake, adorned with scales arranged in a python-like pattern. Its beauty is accompanied by its ferocity as a skilled hunter. This fish can grow up to 1 meter, making it the ruler of its habitat."

Mangsanya terdiri dari jenis ikan lain, krustasea, katak, dan reptil kecil. Ikan gabus utara bahkan terkadang berburu burung dan mamalia kecil.

His ferocity, combined with his ability to breathe on land for several days, makes him a formidable apex predator. To be able to breathe on land, the northern snakehead fish must be in a moist area. It is able to crawl like a snake when it's time to return to the water.

"Not Native Species of the United States"

Northern snakehead is not a native species in the US, but originated from Asia. Its presence threatens native species as it preys on them and competes for food.

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The northern snakehead fish was first discovered in the drainage canal in the US in 2019, and two more were caught last year. This discovery surprised the fishermen. When they caught the fish, the fishermen realized that they had something different. After studying its characteristics, they realized that it was indeed a snakehead fish."

"Fishermen left it on the sidewalk for several hours thinking the fish would die, but it turned out not to," said Dave Knuth, Fisheries Biologist at MDC.

"In the US, It Becomes a Fish that Deserves to be Destroyed"

MDC issues a statement asking all fishermen not to release the snakehead fish if caught. They recommend killing it by cutting off its head or carrying it in a tightly sealed plastic bag.
