Catch this land-walking fish in California? Don't toss it back; do this instead

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:36:18 GMT

A new sighting of the so-called "Frankenfish" has prompted renewed warnings from wildlife officials that you shouldn’t just throw it back. While Frankenfish can conjure nightmarish images, it’s really a northern snakehead fish, or Channa argus. It may appear like a normal fish, but it has a special ability: it can breathe air, allowing it to slither onto land to find better water to swim in.If they are able to stay moist, the snakehead can survive for up to four days out of the water, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife says. The freshwater fish is originally from East Asia and is considered invasive because it preys on and competes with native species, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Invasive Species Information Center.The first discovery of the Frankenfish was in California in 1997, according to the U.S. Geological Society. Since then, the species has been observed in 16 other states and the nation's capital: Arkansas, Connecticut, D...

I was almost dreading coming back a little bit. But it’s my job.”Kyrgios missed the Australian Open and the French Open during his lengthy absence and can’t be sure whether his body is ready for best-of-five-set competition.“I still think there’s some question marks, for sure,” said the 28-year-old Australian, who plays David Goffin of Belgium in the first round.“I look at my preparations last year coming in, I probably had the most ideal preparation possible,” Kyrgios said, a Boston Celtics hat perched on his head. “It couldn’t be any different this year.”And it’s been difficul...
