Who, What, Why: Why did giant fish hurl themselves at rowers?
Giant Asian carp were filmed propelling themselves through the air at a college rowing team in Missouri, US. Why were they doing it, asks Tom Heyden.
They've been called the "Terminators of the fish world". They've been accused of "bludgeoning boaters". It's fair to say Asian carp have attracted a pretty bad reputation. And when an innocent team of young rowers are apparently ambushed by them, perhaps that's understandable. The scenes look like a sequel to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, resembling some sort of aquatic apocalypse.
