The 'fresh water monster' species makes swimmers run away from slippers

This sea monster is all afraid, and should be afraid because its ferocity may be beyond the limit.

Referring to the Amazon River, everyone understands that it is one of the most "dangerous" areas in the world, containing so many terrifying monsters.

But monsters don't just appear in Amazon. In the rivers of North America and Northern Asia - Europe, there is a species of fish known as the sea monster because of its ferocity. To the extent, it is included in the warning list for those who intend to swim openly in the river.

It is Northern pike , also known as a crane - one of the fierce creatures in the freshwater world.

In fact, it is rare for any freshwater fish to be as big and big as a crane.

A crane fish can weigh up to 27kg, nearly 2m long, and they are considered one of the top predators in the food chain in ponds, lakes, or river areas they reside.

The crane has a relatively fast swimming speed, up to 8km / h, but more importantly they are extremely aggressive. They eat anything that fits in their mouths - from smaller fish, to frogs, and even small-sized animals that unfortunately fall into the water, like squirrels, mice, crows . Due to their trait-based traits They are also called wolves in a pond.

The "special" ability of the crane fish is to eat the same amount of food as its own weight. They are ready to attack creatures of almost the same size as the body. There have even been cases where fish died from . choking, swallowed by the same size prey.

The crane is one of the few fish species that have the same cannibalistic behavior . When the population became too crowded (with a fish ratio of 2 -1), the baby crocodiles became the victims of the carnage.

Basically, the crane is not a threat to humans. However, if you go swimming but unfortunately hit the swim line of the fish, it is ready to "sniff" us too. And the truth is that the fish bite is not pleasant at all.

The crane has a rather strange "set ", consisting of many jagged sharp teeth like fishing hooks so it is difficult to remove. But the problem is that the saliva of the crane fish contains a strong anticoagulant compound. Because of that, the wound caused by the crane is very difficult to stop bleeding and it is not easy to heal.

Even so, crocodiles play a very important role for humans, especially for fishermen. Possessing a sizable size with strong fertility, the crane is the "main character" in fishing competitions in North America.

However, some states have laws that tighten the migration of a crane. The reason is because of fertility and adaptation is quite strong, with ferocious characteristics that make this fish become a dangerous alien for all ecosystems.

The crane is just an entertainment tool, not a food value.

Moreover, the majority of the fishermen then released, because the fish are big but the meat contains a lot of bone, not a good food source. So it can be said that the amount of the crane can only increase, not decrease.
