But it's not easy being green – or tiny. Scientists believe they may know what the world's smallest vertebrate is.

Learn more › _ Chain pickerel are a nuisance. At least that's how a lot of bass anglers think of them. Throughout their huge range, pickerel share many of the same waters as largemouth and smallmouth bass and are often more aggressive about smacking a lure. As a result, from Southeastern Canada to Florida, west to Eastern Texas, and northeastward to southern Michigan, you can find plenty of bass anglers ticked off that their crankbait intended for a big smallie got clipped off by a pickerel's teeth, or that they destroyed an entire bag of soft plastics intended for hog largemouths.
