The muskellunge (Esox masquinongy), commonly known as "muskie," is a large freshwater predator native to North America. Known for its elongated body and sharp teeth, this fish is highly prized in sport fishing due to its elusive nature and powerful fight. Muskellunge inhabit clear lakes, slow-moving rivers, and backwaters, often hiding among vegetation or submerged logs. They are solitary hunters, feeding on fish, amphibians, and occasionally small mammals or birds.
