rashore Posted February 13, 2021 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Quote What can grow up to 10 feet long, weigh 200 pounds and is armored like a tank? The Amazonian river monster, the Arapaima. You might have heard of it on the Discovery Channel show “River Monsters.” So what does a monster fish that lives half a world away have to do with Florida? The Arapaima could actually be closer than you think. Over the weekend, a woman walking through Cape Coral’s Jaycee Park came across an enormous dead fish that puzzled her. https://nbc-2.com/news/science/2021/02/08/amazonian-river-monster-discovered-in-the-caloosahatchee-river/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyDolly Posted April 1, 2021 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2021 What is it with Florida? Pythons, iguanas now arapimas? I think they can be eaten, but not sure how tasty they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted April 1, 2021 #5 Share Posted April 1, 2021 "So what does a monster fish that lives half a world away have to do with Florida?" Half a world away. 2400 miles is all that separates Florida from the Amazon river. Hardly "half a world" away. Florida has the terrain and weather to make it an easy fit for invasive species. Gotta be a constant battle down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
