While fishing near Philadelphia, an eight-year-old boy made an unusual catch: a piranha. Officials identified this tropical fish as non-native to Pennsylvania, raising alarms over the potential dangers of exotic pets being set free into local waters. Releasing such species is illegal and can jeopardize public safety. Following their unexpected encounter, the boy and his father took responsible action to humanely dispose of the piranha.
