Asian swamp eels are on display for sale at a market in the Chinatown neighborhood of New York City on Oct. 13, 2020.NEW YORK — Andrew Orkin was taking a break from his evening jog to sit by Prospect Park Lake when he turned around and was startled to see a tangle of wriggling snakes.Theythat had escaped from one of two large plastic bags that split open as a man dragged them to the shoreline.
New York state and city officials say it’s too soon to know how the eels in Prospect Park might affect local species. But based on photos taken by bystanders, officials identified them as swamp eels native to Southeast Asia like those that have been found in at least eight states. However, said University of Toronto freshwater ecologist Nicholas Mandrak, “Even if they don’t survive, they could have negative short-term impacts.”
Asian swamp eels in waterways in Hawaii, Georgia, New Jersey, Maryland, Michigan, Florida and Pennsylvania.In 1890, Shakespeare enthusiasts released a flock of about 60 European starlings in Central Park that grew into a current population of hundreds of millions nationwide that outcompete native birds, destroy crops and occasionally snarl jet engines.
The eels are just the latest episode. “This is an unusual and eye-catching story,” Toal said, “but something that happens far more often is people release one unwanted pet.” However, said University of Toronto freshwater ecologist Nicholas Mandrak, “Even if they don’t survive, they could have negative short-term impacts.”
Would hv rather seen a nuke dropped in NY.

It's Kellyanne Conway.
It would be good to know who did this incident, it looks like it was planned for some reason. Did someone say a Wet Market for China? I hope not because we already know how unhealthy a Wet Market can be if the Corona Virus started from someone in a Wet Market eating Bats.
Only known photo of the suspect:
This doesn’t eel right!
impact not yet known? it probably just went splat
Bystanders say this is a slippery slope.
Someone must have wrecked their hovercraft...
My sensei, Mr. Unagi, inexplicably shape-shifted mid-lesson, then pan flute faded in as a single oak leaf fell from a tree.
Yep 2020 ain’t done with us yet
What’s going on with NYC?

How is anyone trying to measure the 'impact' of a heap of eels? I think the 'damage' is as fertilizer...
Not gonna lie, thought it was the new logo for something mortal kombat related
Asian markets should not be allowed to sell any live fish or animals. These markets are a menace to the environment.
