What is a "pike"?

A pike, also known as the northern pike, is a predatory fish that inhabits freshwater environments across North America, Europe, and Asia. It possesses a sleek, elongated body with a characteristic duckbill-shaped snout and sharp teeth. Pike are voracious hunters and lie in wait, ambushing their prey with remarkable speed and precision. They are known for their aggressive nature and remarkable ability to strike at fast-moving targets. Pike primarily feed on smaller fish but are opportunistic and will also consume amphibians, crustaceans, and even small mammals. With their impressive hunting prowess and distinct appearance, pike are sought after by anglers for their challenging fights and as prized catches. They are apex predators in their ecosystems, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of freshwater food chains.
