Praying for DaGman.

The Piranah is not legally sold in Texas but may be available on the black market.

It's those damn coyoteros!

Not coincidentally, so are the people they would be stopping.

People have caught Piranahs in Minneapolis while fishing the Mississippi.

[DaGman]

Sorry about that!

I did set you up with FEMA to sell them $870,000,000 in trailers to be shipped to Hope, AR!

I doubt it would stop much. People swim in the Amazon. I wonder if the Rio Grande is too cool to load it up with crocodiles.

I've sent CIA trained killer dolphins down there... Wonder how they'll mix with them Piranahs?

Mein Gott! How we could have used those in the English Channel! Would have been very interesting, eh?

It's amazing what fear and adrenalin can do. I was snorkling off Key West once and encountered an unusually large barracuda too closely.

LOL. I know what you mean. I did a camping trip in the Amazon (in Peru) once and we swam in the same river where the guides caught our Pirhana in. I was always prepared to eject myself from the water the second I felt any nibbling on me. The trick was to not make a splash, as that's what attracted the fish.

FEMA is buying overpriced trailers by the.....well by the trailer load and we can't money to upgrade our phone system in the County EOC.

Here I sit using the full flower of 1970s technology while fielding phone calls.

Caller ID? What's that?

Yer Profile Page sez it all in just a few words.

[Lurker]

Thanks.

Now snakeheads...genetically modified snakeheads let loose in the RG that might just work.

I saw a movie like that on Sci-Fi one night. That and I owned a snakehead years ago. Nearly went broke feeding the damned thing.

It could eat a dozen goldfish in less than 10 seconds, and I had to do that like every day or he got real ornery. Jumped out of the tank once and scared the bejeebers out of me.

Son of a gun was over a foot long when I got rid of it.

What about alligators,
Water moccasins,
Copper heads,
Snapping turtles.....

Throw a few hungry bobcats on the shore and you'd have home!

Nope.

"By the Cretaceous period crocodiles had become very abundant and widespread.

One of the most remarkable of the Cretaceous crocodiles comes from the Rio Grande in Texas. Named Deinosuchus ("terrible crocodile") this is the largest crocodile so far found. Its skull is 2m in length and if this creature had the proportions of a typical crocodile then it may have attained a length of 15m and weighed around 2 tonnes. Deinosuchus was sufficiently large and heavy to have preyed on sizeable dinosaurs, catching them by stealth as they waded into lakes and rivers to drink."
