Carnivorous fish with a distinctive long, flattened snout and a mouth full of strong, sharp teeth. Pikes are found in sluggish streams and sandy, muddy or weedy places. This voracious fish is a top predator in freshwater ecosystems and it can grow to a relatively large size, reaching (and exceeding) 1 meter in length.
In the resurgence area, pikes are found across many water basins up to the spring wellsA spring well ("fontanile") is the result of the human intervention on resurgences, transformed into spring wells by the enlargement of the natural valleys in the land. More, especially during the breeding season from February to April, when they get less wary and can be observed in shallow waters and at the edges of ditches.
