Skinner:  Well, I was wrong.  The lizards are a godsend.
Lisa:     But isn't that a bit short-sighted?  What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
Skinner:  No problem.  We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes.  They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa:     But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner:  Yes, but we're prepared for that.  We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa:     But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner:  No, that's the beautiful part.  When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

just in from wikipedia

Snakeheads feed on plankton, aquatic insects, and mollusks when small. When adult, they mostly feed on other fish like carp, or frogs.

THEY FEED ON CARP!

When there is no more room in hell, the carp shall walk the earth.

I think the most fearsome creature you can put in DF is a Chinaman. We Chinese eat everything that moves. Give me my fried camel hump now! And don't hold back on the tiger bladder!

What about Filipinos?  They're not that picky.  My uncle who goes fishing a lot knows a guy who's Filipino (at least I think he's Filipino), and whenever the catch gets cleaned, he takes everything that was cleaned out of the fish back home in a bag.  Bones, skin, guts, everything.  He'd scrape the blood off the cutting board if he could get enough off it to be worth the trouble.

Actually, considering what that cutting board's been through...  I don't think he would.

Err... you guys don't do that? =/

Kylaer: Bah! Unless Cajuns eat ground rhinoceros horn and live silk worms, we're numero uno. Nyuh! (Seriously though, Cajuns are...? A country? A state? A race? Forgive my ignorance.)

Thats why when you visit China, theres absolutely no wildlife to be seen anywhere - it's all been eaten!

Wow, DF wasn't lying about killer fish...


Also, on the food discussion- The Scottish. Scotland is a nation entirely unafraid of scurvy.

we also eat the feared mountain haggis, a beast 6 feet tall with Three legs, one side being shorter than the other so they can chase you up hills really fast and then hop back down on there front leg, once your caught they will slowely devour you.. luckily you can only find they in  national parks now.

edit: spelling and forgot to mention thats a really badass fish.
