When fish strike back - PHOTO+VIDEO

In this remarkable video, a kitten is dragged into a pond by a fish at least twice its size after it got a little too close to its prey.The footage, filmed in Japan, shows the kitten edging closer and closer to the pond's surface, transfixed by the koi carp passing underneath it. A second cat joins it, even climbing on its back in order to get a good look at the passing prey.When a few attempts to paw at the creatures beneath it are unsuccessful, it edges even closer to the water - with its nose almost touching the surface.Suddenly a large fish - bigger than any of those the kitten had seen beneath it - lunges out of the water, grabbing it with its jaws and dragging it underwater.Such is the speed at which it launches from the water, even the women filming what was previously a cute encounter scream in fright.It's not known if the kitten survived the astonishing role reversal - but it's believed the huge fish that attacked it was a pike.Pike are aggressive fish, reported to have bitten even humans. They can grow more than 1metre in length and have extremely sharp, pointy teeth.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
