On the Winnipeg River (90 km NE of Wpg)

This is the new record in Canada .

He caught it on the Winnipeg River, by the Seven Sisters power plant , in Manitoba. Check this thing out. The last picture is unbelievable. This guy was fishing and caught a 36lb Pike. As he was reeling it in, a 56 lb. Pike tried to eat it. He brought them both in on the same net. Awesome catch on a river in Canada 55 lbs, 56 inches. It goes to show you that live bait works the best for the giant fish.

those things are just to cool
there is another animal looks a lot like it but without the scales called a Tamandua
they both eat primarily insects ( termites ) and there cages stink to high hell
I do not envy the keepers assistant's who have to clean up after these guys

B

Pangolins and Tamandua's are actually really friendly
at least in captivity they are

Those are very businesslike claws.

built for ripping up Termite mounds
Ive handled those animals before and they are actually pretty careful not to do any damage
that and they don't actually have any teeth
at least I dont think they do
but they love to lick meal worms out of your hand
and other than stinking to high hell really dont have any bad qualities as a pet
pretty sure you can litter box train em as well

Looking down the business end of these massive guns is awe inspiring and probably very frightening if they were purposely aimed at you!

thing that always amazes me is that they can actually hit something with those things at what
twenty or thirty miles out
not sure what the effective range is but
ouch
hate to have some car sized projectile land on the old homestead eh
