The Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries says an invasive crab species is on the move and has been spotted in Louisiana.

The agency says that the Chinese Mitten Crab is here, and it is easy to identify by its fuzzy “mittens” on its claws and the lack of paddles on its rear legs.

Here in Lafayette, Louisiana, we know a thing or two about crawfish boils.

But while we’re cracking shells and soaking up the spice, we’re also watching something else grow: AI technology. It’s creeping into every industry, changing the way we work, create, and communicate. And as someone who spends a lot of time creating content, I can’t help but be intrigued by the possibilities.

Crawfish are kind of our thing here in Louisiana. We're known across the U.S. for them to the point where whenever anyone sees a crawfish they immediately think of Louisiana.

Well, what if we told you that there's a place in Idaho that boasts a native species of crawfish that can grow about twice the size of what we catch in Louisiana and apparently are "the best tasting crawfish in the world"?

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is warning anglers about a newly discovered threat to the state’s waterways—the invasive Northern Snakehead fish. Found recently in Concordia Parish, this predatory species poses a risk to Louisiana’s native fish populations and ecosystems.

Just last week, the state department of wildlife and fisheries released a notice of intent, extending the wild alligator hunting season, leaving some wondering if there’s an overflow of gators in the state.

“Currently, for the past three years, our population estimate has been, actually lower than the previous 10 years because we’ve had better water cycles, but it’s been very comparable to long term average of 30 years,” Linscombe said.
