KNAU Arizona Public Radio continues to integrate new audio software into both our news and classical services, resulting in some glitches. Thank you for your support and patience through this upgrade.

KNAU 88.7 is restored to full power. APS cut power to our system atop Mormon Mountain to service another radio station's electricity meter and restored it early Monday morning.

A boy caught a South American fish with human-like teeth in an Oklahoma pond

LEILA FADEL, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Leila Fadel. An avid fisherman in Oklahoma recently caught something unusual in his neighborhood pond. Using a piece of bread as bait, 11-year-old Charlie Clinton reeled in a South American fish with humanlike teeth. It's a relative of the better-known piranha, but the pacu is a vegetarian. No joke, though - state wildlife officials took the opportunity to remind us all not to dump exotic pets in local waterways. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
