Question: What is the monster freshwater fish called?

Answer: The Goliath tiger fish could ruin a nice swim. A cousin of the piranha, this carnivorous fish boasts 32 razor-sharp teeth and lives in the Congo river basin. Rumored to eat small crocodiles, the Goliath is the largest of six species of tiger fish and can measure more than four feet long. By helping to protect the Congo’s forests, WWF also protects the rivers that the tiger fish call home.
