In the post, they wrote, “A young angler, Charlie Clinton, was fishing in a neighborhood pond over the weekend when he got an unusual bite. Charlie reeled in what turned out to be a Pacu, which is a South American fish closely related to Piranha. Pacu has been caught in a few fisheries in Oklahoma before.” According to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation non-native Pacu in Oklahoma waters is a result of people buying them as pets and freeing them in ponds once they outgrow the fish tanks. They also added, “These fish are generally harmless to humans, but the practice of dumping unwanted pets in waterways can be incredibly harmful to native wildlife. Pacu can reach sizes up to 3.5 feet and 88 pounds! They are an exotic, invasive species that can cause damage to our local ecosystems. Anglers who catch Pacu in Oklahoma are asked to remove them from the watershed and contact their local game warden.” Take a look at this Pacu fish that has teeth like humans here: This post was shared on July 18.
