Human hormones and chicken estrogen dumped in the Potomac River watershed might be the reason why male bass in West Virginia are producing eggs. The Post explores this odd environmental development.

This news comes after news that the dangerous northern snakehead is reproducing in the tidal Potomac and can’t be stopped.
Also, our friends at Chicagoist report that snakeheads in the Illinois River are approaching the Windy City and Lake Michigan.
