“Wow - I guess when you're that low on the food chain you have to live your life quick.” She said life span in the wild is about a year.
I like fishing for Northern Pike. Kept a clip from the paper in my wallet. Something like “Bird watchers were astounded to see a Hornbeaked Mallard (or whatever!) - the first seen in North America in over 30 years. And then, horrifically, a Northern Pike attacked and swallowed it whole.”
There's a YouTube from Japan showing a Pike snatching a kitten from a slightly raised shoreline.
