Frankenfish!

Imagine, a fish that can live out of water for 72 hours.  Creates more slime than the Ghostbusters ever had to endure.  Has the skin and flexibility of a snake.  Eyes so far forward on its head that it looks more reptilian then fishlike.  Razor sharp teeth that blend in to the white 'cottonmouth' ready to grab and hold.

Not only that, but they are great parents! They protect their young at all costs enabling their species to grow at overpowering rates.

And lastly, they have invaded our nation's capital just minutes downriver from where the great George Washington used to live and harvest the spawning shad each year.

That is the snakehead.
