Snakeheads, however, are really nothing more than common swamp fish. In Southeast Asia, where they originate, they live in irrigation ditches and rice paddies, thriving there until the dry season, when their pools shrink and they squirm along to the next pocket of water.

...fellow who described himself as "a Level Five vegan--I don't eat anything that casts a shadow."
