Can you Spot the Triplex Maxilla?

Under the impact of GMO crops and composts made from GMO animal carcasses released into the water from the fallen pods, the garpike has evolved to become much bigger to eat larger prey. The garpike can camouflage itself within floating garbages. Which helps hunt prey. The large, elongated fins and ventral fins that run the lengths of its belly can lure small fish into thinking that it’s a haven below the fins. Small prey is also attracted by the floating fish guts around this creature’s hunting and eating behaviours. 

The fish has an elongated body with a long, trifold jaw. The lower portion splays into two parts while the upper portion stays still. This optimizes its prey yield, allows for more coverage for bigger prey and provides the opportunity to catch more in one snap.  A co-evolved trait is the internal pharyngeal jaw. When the fish snaps on large preys that are difficult to be maneuvered/swallowed at once. The secondary pharyngeal jaw secures the prey in space and helps tear up and eat the prey piece by piece. The fish guts from tearing apart prey also can attract small fish hanging around/below.

The fish can be easily eaten by the nymph of dragonflies and small fish at the surface level. And the fry can be eaten by terrestrial animals such as the rhea. When the juvenile swims to the water surface for more food, it takes revenge on the dragonfly nymph, but it also faces the risk of getting eaten by a caiman that camouflages as a floating log. Finally, when Triplex Maxilla – the Rio trash fish grows into the 3.5-meter sea monster, it is time to strike back to take revenge and prey upon the creatures that were once predators.
