That freaking snake opening the door himself... yeah, that will be in the dream tonight... Have to remember my magic sword or sharpened hoe...and the other one that looked as if it ate someone or something big..d@#n!

Heres one for you. It's called a snakehead fish or frankenfish. This invasive species is able to leave the water and propel itself across land. Think about this for a minute, it has wiped out many natural species here and is carnivorous. In the local waters, in Maryland, the Potomac, in the Southern US. 2014-05-31-22-28-06-1694322268.jpeg and ap-a00-snakehead-29.jpeg

I wonder where it came from if it is "invasive" - so that means it is not native to the Southern US?

It looks a bit like some of our eels... except with teeth.

I did use to hand-feed them though. My kid got bitten by one by mistake once, he picked it up--thought it was a stick... it left a nasty scrape/bite mark, he cried a bit and then carried on swimming. :biggrin2:
(Apologies to those that have heard this one before...)
That hurts. I'm glad your kid didn't get eaten. I imagine you are, too. Usually.
