The petition to list the snakehead as an endangered species is a not-all-that-funny joke. The snakehead is an exotic, invasive species that presents huge threats to the Mid-Atlantic ecosystems, and officials at the Maryland Department of Natural Resources beg you to kill it if you catch it. Utah scientists, probably making a point about how the Endangered Species Act is applied by Washingtonians to regulate Western lands, had an opportunity to file a petition to list the species -- thankfully rare at the moment -- in their effort to show that turnabout is fair play.
