| OCOEE, Fla. -- A fish-like creature with "legs" caught in a Central Florida lake over the weekend sparked a flood of e-mails after photos of it were aired on Local 6. Shawna Mitchell said she was fishing on Starke Lake in Ocoee when she pulled something strange out of the water. Mitchell's photos showed what appeared to be a fish with two front legs and no scales. She said she was "freaked out a little bit" after pulling the creature to a pier. |

| #1 Action news strikes again! That's a Greater Siren, an aquatic salamander that can grow to a length of 3 feet. A Florida native to boot and really not a rare animal. Now we just need the guy from our herp society that captured the dangerous baby black racer out of the Action 6 newsroom to tell them that they are normally found sitting on firetrucks where they lure sailors to their death but due to global warming they are forced to live in local lakes. |
