Is it a fish? Is it a snake? No, it's a snakehead fish.

For only the fourth time in the state of Missouri, an angler caught a northern snakehead fish that is not native to the U.S.

Fisheries biologists with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) confirmed the catch occurred on May 25 in Wayne County, according to a recent press release.

The predatory fish has a head that resembles a snake and a body that could grow up to 3 feet in length with a "python-like coloration and pattern."
