R. I. P. Scotty


Just a week after being caught at Buffalo Springs Lake in Texas, "Scotty the Pacu" has died. The freaky fish with human-looking teeth is native to the Amazon area of South America.

Other pacus have started popping up in other lakes across the country, the latest being found in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The ransom for the remaining pacu is $100.
