Trivia[edit]
- A prerelease trailer for Animal Crossing shows that the giant snakehead was originally called the spotted snakehead. Its catch quote is also different, being "Yup! First I spotted it, then I caughted it!" rather than "Yup! A giant snakehead. Who names these things?"
Real-world information[edit]
The giant snakehead is the largest in the family Channidae, capable of growing to over one meter in length (three feet) and a weight of over 20 kilograms (40 pounds). They are predators, and they can consume organisms ranging from small fish to other snakeheads.
