What is a pike the animal?

Answer 1

PIKEBig,powerful,awe-inspiring and unmistable;the pike is the top line predator in most European freshwater fisheries and has been caught to weights approaching 70lb (31.8kg) in Europe.Pike lead solitary lives,hinding patiently and well-camouflaged in snags,weed or reeds waiting for an unsuspecting fish to come just that little bit too close.They are built for sudden surges of speed, with the dorsal and anal fins set well back near the tail,enabling the fish to propel itself from its ambush site with frightening speed.Prey fish are taken side on,and once grabbed in the jaws the fish has virtually no chance of escape as the upper part of a pikes mouth is lined with countless tiny,backward-pointing teeth.The pike simply manoeuvres the fish around before it swallows it head first.Pike can live up to 25 years old.All big pike are females as male pike only grow to 12 pounds (5.4kg)
