| | Spawn of Snakehead? (washingtonpost.com) |
 | | The news that a fisherman had netted the tiny creatures has further alarmed state officials, who were already mulling what to do about the weird, toothy, Asian walking fish, capable of consuming a pondful of fish and then limping along on its strong pectoral fins and belly to other waters. |
 | | If the babies were caught in the pond, as the fisherman reports, and prove to be snakeheads, that means that there were at least two adult snakeheads and that they, or others, have already spawned, officials said. |
 | | A juvenile fish, believed to be a snakehead fingerling, was taken from a pond in Crofton by fishermen and given to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. |
