Snakehead fish, belonging to the family Channidae, are freshwater fish known for their elongated, torpedo-shaped bodies and their ability to breathe air, allowing them to survive out of water for several days. They are native to Asia and Africa, and some species have been introduced to other regions, Key Characteristics Body Shape: Snakeheads have a long, slender, and cylindrical body, with a small head and a large, protractile mouth. Fins: They possess long, continuous dorsal and anal fins that extend nearly to their tail fin. Scales: Some species have large scales on their head. Eyes: Their eyes are located on the top of their heads. Breathing: They have a suprabranchial organ (primitive lung) that allows them to breathe air, enabling them to survive in low-oxygen environments and even out of water for a short time.
