0:38Now PlayingAn 8-year-old fishing with his dad at Ridley Park Lake reeled in an unexpected catch: a piranha.
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission confirmed the fish was a species of piranha, which is not native to Pennsylvania. Officials believe it may have been an exotic pet released into the water — a reminder that dumping aquarium or exotic pets can introduce non-native species into local waterways and create risks for native wildlife.
