I am apparently like others the author thought wanting to see a catfish with a long snout full of sharp teeth. Highly disappointed in this article!

My first thought was a failed movie script... But they did that one already.

1980's movie Piranha II, where they developed a genetically modified piranha capable of flight, lol

Same. To fuel your curiosity go take a look at how close they are to cloning mammoth and releasing them. Its wild

CRISPR is opening up a huge can of worms with unknown consequences. I love how confident they are that these catfish gators will never been able to breed like they have everything figured out

There are so many things wrong in the world today. I can't help thinking that these brilliant minds should be focusing on other more pressing issues.
