Not only can they breathe atmospheric air, but they can also survive on land for up to four days, provided they are wet, and are known to migrate up to 1/4 mile on wet land to other bodies of water by wriggling with their body and fins.
National Geographic has referred to snakeheads as "Fishzilla"
[3][4][5] and the
National Geographic Channel reports that the "northern snakehead reaches sexual maturity by age 2 or 3. Each spawning-age female can release up to 15,000 eggs at once. Snakeheads can mate as often as five times a year. This means in just two years, a single female can release up to 150,000 eggs."
[3] Since 2002 it has been illegal to possess a live snakehead in many U.S. states, where they are considered a destructive
invasive species
