    Sharks!

    Those piranha things in FC4 were ok I guess, but they weren't as butt puckering as a big shark coming at you for a quick bite as in FC3

    My question, will we have the return of everyone's favourite aquatic nightmare?

    This guy gives me hope..lol

    Aggressiveness[edit]

    The northern pike is a relatively aggressive species, especially with regards to feeding. For example, when food sources are sparse, cannibalism develops, starting around five weeks in a small percentage of populations.[8] This cannibalism occurs when the ratio of predator to prey is two to one.[8] One can expect this because when food is scarce, Northern pike fight for survival, such as turning on smaller pike to feed; this is seen in other species such as tiger salamanders. Usually, pike tend to feed on smaller fish, such as the banded killifish. However, when pike exceed 700 mm (28 in) long, they feed on larger fish.[9] As one can probably assume, these pike are the ones most likely to develop cannibalistic traits.
    Because of cannibalism when food is short, pike suffer a fairly high young mortality rate.[10] Cannibalism is more prevalent in cool summers, as the upcoming pike have slow growth rates in that season and might not be able to reach a size to deter the larger pike. Cannibalism is likely to arise in low growth and low food conditions.[10]Pike do not discriminate siblings well, so cannibalism between siblings is likely.
    Aggressiveness also arises from a need of space.[11] Young pike tend to have their food robbed by larger pike.[11] Pike are aggressive if not given enough space because they are territorial.[12] They use a form of foraging known as sit-and-wait. Unlike species such as perch, pike undergo bursts of energy instead of actively chasing down prey. As such, a fair amount of inactive time occurs until they find prey. Hunting efficiency decreases with competition;[12] the larger the pike, the larger the area controlled by that particular pike. An inverse relation to vegetation density and pike size exists, which is due to the possibility of cannibalism from the largest pike.[13] This makes sense, as the smaller pike need more vegetation to avoid being eaten. Large pike do not have this worry and can afford the luxury of a large line of sight. They prefer a tree structure habitat.[13]

    Something to replace crocodiles is the snapping turtle. Those things are monsters.
