In Lake Lou Yeager near Litchfield, Illinois, fish with teeth are being found. A fisherman caught one back on June 7th and now there are claims another was hooked ten days ago. Apparently, these fish have been identified as Pacu, which live in the Amazon basin. Biologists claim that they are not dangerous because they mostly eat nuts, snails, and vegetation. They claim that they only eat other fish if these other food choices are not available. Further, they say that the Pacu cannot survive Illinois winters. They are concerned, however, about the Pacu contaminating other species in the lake.
This Blind Bambi wouldn't be to thrilled about swimming with fish that could take a bite out of me. I hope they find the person responsible for dumping them in the lake.
