Brown Bear’s Mackerel Dinner
This scene is pretty common in the wild with flying salmon, but it was some unlucky mackerel that were lunch at the Brno Zoo in Czech Republic.

13-Year-Old Brit Lands Record Forkbeard?
I consider myself pretty well versed in fish species, but I can honestly say I’ve never heard of a forkbeard before now, and it’s a doozy (apparently). Morgan Parry, 13, became the latest Brit to land a record fish when he hauled in a three-pounder. According to Journal Live, it’s big enough to qualify for [...]
