[Jefforever]

They call them River Tigers in the discovery channel, but it don't look like that...

Fierce fish I do say. I wonder how it managed to get caught.

LOL. That tree does look a little... fishy.

they fish for them as a sport fish just like you fish for barracuda or shark or sturgeon

I edited out a web address on the pic. That's the deal with the tree.

Wow! Sorry I doubted you!

 

[Ozzy]

I thought that it may be fake too. To me it almost looked like a crocodile snout photoshopped on a fish.

But looking at the other pics I guess it's real.

I figured that was the case because of the "composition."
