A pike (Esox lucius, order Esociformes, family Esocidae) is a carnivorous fish of brackish and freshwaters of northern hemisphere. Eats mainly fish, but water voles and ducklings are also known to fall prey on pikes. Pikes grow to a relatively large size, length of 150 cm and weight of 25 kg are not unheard of.
