...they're said to. Reports had it that they can live on land for up to three days, but the best they usually seem to manage is several hours under wet burlap in open markets where they're sold for their flesh. On dry land under a sunny sky, they fricassee fast. And while snakeheads have indeed popped up in half a dozen states besides Maryland, they've done so in modest numbers. Florida reported a single pair of river snakeheads near Orlando in 2001; Massachusetts encountered a single specimen last October. Florida has a population that appears...

Their stick-thin figures seem to have jumped directly out of the pages of the Russian fashion magazines that sit in the corner of my room.
