These trout like behemoths are the most sought after fish for fly-fishermen in Mongolia. Taimens normally eat anything they want, including birds and rodents, but on this occasion the huge fish bit off more then it could chew.


Scientists working in the Eg and Uur rivers in northern Mongolia in 2006 found this 5-foot-long (1.5-meter-long) taimen that had choked to death on a 3-foot-long (0.9-meter-long) taimen.
