The carcass of a “monstrous” fish spotted at MacRitchie Reservoir is the latest sighting of an alien species that is not supposed to be here at all.
It was identified as an alligator gar. The fish, native to North America, can grow to a length of 2.5m, and is known to be released by owners who cannot cope with its size.
