Jell-O may be used to kill off non-native trout in Yellowstone National Park. Yes … I said Jell-O. Illegally introduced<\/a> into the park, lake trout heavily threatens the native cutthroat trout in Yellowstone Lake. Something the park service has been contending with since 1994. httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MHpUMCrnUNE<\/p>\n The biggest threat posed by the lake trout is its longevity. Compared to cutthroat trout, a lake trout can live up to three-times longer. In addition, lake trout outweigh cutthroat trout by about 15 pounds. Once a lake trout reaches 4 years of age, it starts eating cutthroat trout. A few years later, it lives off of cutthroat trout almost exclusively.<\/p>\n But Jell-O isn’t the only consideration for removing the trout. Sorry Bill, no commercial deal just yet. Other possibilities include ultrasound, microwaves and electroshock.<\/p>\n

\nI’m trying to picture a Bill Cosby<\/a> commercial for this.<\/p>\n
